Term 1 Week 14 Update

Hello everyone!

Christmas is in the air! Decorations are up around the school; the Winter show is only a week and a half away. As a class, we have put together a lip-sync medley of Christmas songs to perform, and we have been practising lots recently.

This week the students enjoyed a lot of science investigations, which allowed us to explore our unit ‘Fascinating Forces’. We investigated to see if all objects hit the ground at the same time, explored weight and mass using newton metres and scales, and experimented with parachutes to understand air resistance.

In English, we explored a variety of poems; we used these poems to help write and understand and write similes, metaphors and personification; we went outside to write a poem about the sky as inspiration.

This week in Math we completed our unit on probability by doing some chance experiments and simulations to represent events. We then started a new unit on calculations with fractions.
