Hello everyone,
A fantastic first week back after the Easter break as we start our 3rd and final term of this academic year. Term 3 is always a busy Term, so please keep checking here and the newsletter for information about upcoming events. The class welcomed another new student to class, Anita, the students were very welcoming, and Anita settled in well and made a great start.
For IPC, we started our new unit called ‘Saving World’; the main focus of this unit is rainforests. Just like every new unit for IPC, we start with our entry point, a hook to get the children engaged and excited about their learning. So we made a rainforest display, full of trees, plants and animals, in our classroom. Next, this was followed up; by a ‘knowledge harvest’ to see what children already know and what they want to find out.
In English, the children started a new unit around adventures stories. Like with previous units, I have created a story for the children to memorize and learn by heart to help them with; the structure, features and ideas for their own writing. We will also use this text as the basis for other lessons to help improve the children’s writing.
In maths, we are revisiting fractions, the students have solved problems involving equivalent fractions and adding and subtracting fractions.
