Over the last couple of weeks, we had a busy time in class.
In Maths we learnt about sequences linear patterns in numbers and how to find the n-th term in a sequence. We also looked at equations and simple functions and how to solve for the unknown variable.
During our English lessons we used the SMILE method of looking and analyzing a poem related to extrema weather, we then looked at the difference between poetic language and the language used in news articles. The students then used the writing process to plan and write either a poem or a news article about extreme weather or one of Earth’s wild places.
In IMYC for Science, we looked at atoms as the building blocks of all matter and what can be found in atoms, we also looked at the development of the atomic theory and how this explains reactions.
In Geography we looked at how people from different places in the world make use of their natural environment to make life more comfortable,
In Technology we looked at clothing and how specific materials are used for individual purposes in clothing manufacturing.
During our ICT lesson, we looked at the history of specific genres of video games and how they developed and influenced different genres of gaming.
During our global citizenship week, we looked at how we are all linked together on earth and how we can make the Earth a better place for everyone. We discussed the carbon cycle and how it impacts global weather and climate change. We researched what we as individuals and as a school can do to limit our impact on the environment. Look out for the informational videos the students created as part of our awareness campaign.
