Welcome back after a long Chuseok break. We jumped right into things and had an interesting week of learning.
In Math we started looking at statistics, collecting organizing and displaying data. Students had the opportunity to work with numbers in a more everyday context, and learn how to interpret numbers and make decisions based on the math of a situation.
In English we learnt how to read a poem and not just look at the surface of what is written, but to see what is meant by the author. We also looked at extending our vocabulary by using words from “The Ruby in the Smoke”. The students also had to complete a quiz to see if they were reading the book with comprehension.
In Science we looked at some “magic” tricks and discussed the science behind each of these. We also looked at the expansion of metal in heat and discussed its implications in construction.
In Technology we made “Spicy Bean Burgers” where the students got the opportunity to put their culinary skills to the test in preparing a vegetarian meal. We also looked at the consequences of what we eat on nature in a more international context.
In History we looked at the European Renaissance and how it lead to the Reformation, leading us into the consequences of this action.
In Geography the students had to make an information pamphlet for potential travelers to Ulsan, advising them on what to expect and how to prepare during the different seasons.
