We are at the end of another week, this one being a bit shorter due to the public holiday on Tuesday the 1st of March. It is known as ‘Samil Jeol’ in Korean and is a public holiday in South Korea, that commemorates March 1st Independence Movement in 1919.
This week in Math, we continued to learn about enlargements of shapes using scale factors as well as enlargements of shapes from a given Centre of enlargement. We also started looking at straight line graphs and how to draw them using a table and a set of generated coordinates.
In English, we looked ad some more persuasive devices to be used in persuasive writing, especially formal letters. We also explored how to use different punctuation marks and what their function is when writing.
In IMYC: Science we looked at different properties of waves and how these affect sound waves. In Design and Technology, we used food items to create natural dyes and made use of different dyeing techniques to create a pattern on the material we dyed. In History, we looked at some primary sources that we could use to research the history of the school.
This week we also celebrated world book day and some of the students dressed up as characters from their favourite books, we also set aside some time just to read in celebration of the day.
As you are all aware there a staff member has tested positive for Covid-19 on Friday and the students were required to return home according to the school’s Covid policy. This, however, does not impact next week’s classes and school will resume for our class on Monday.
All students have also been issued with two Covid home test kits and we ask that you self test on Sunday and Wednesday evenings as a precaution against the spread of the virus. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
That is all for this week, see you all back at school on Monday.
Have a great weekend.
