We come to the end of the first whole school week in a while and what a busy and productive week it has been.
In Math, we studied translations of shapes, looking at transformations, reflections, rotations and enlargements.
In Science, students looked at using the scientific method of recording and conducting investigations by looking at magnetic fields and how they interact with compasses. In Geography, students compared and rated cities according to a rating scale to see how livable these cities were; they also looked at the phenomenon of urban sprawl, its advantages, disadvantages and causes. In History, we looked at the ideals and motivations of the first colonialists that immigrated to the American colonies as a precursor to find out why they eventually sought their independence. In Technology, we examined different types of farming, looking at the differences, advantages and disadvantages of these different types.
In English, we continued our novel study of “Stone Cold”, the class wrote scripts to role play as the main characters.
That is all for this week, I hope everyone has an enjoyable weekend.
