Term 2 Week 6 Update

Hello everyone,

Another action-packed week in Mr. Dunn’s class as we passed the halfway mark of term two.

In English, the class has been trying to memorize a newspaper report and came up with actions to go with the text to help them with structure, features, and vocabulary. Also, we took a closer look at some of the features of newspapers, such: as writing headlines, direct and indirect speech, and writing an introduction for a newspaper.

For maths, the students have spent the week revising addition and subtraction; they looked at different methods to solve these questions and tacked word problems.

During IPC, the students started an art project that look’s at local geography. They chose a local landform or water body and used this as their inspiration for their artwork. The students will also include a written part to go along with their artwork explaining what it is? And why it’s special? Also, the students looked into the layers of soil, and different types of erosion. The students made a diorama showing what they had learnt about the layers of the soil.
