Hello everyone,
As the COVID-19 cases increased, it was inevitable that the school would end up online. I have been impressed with how well the children adapted to online learning; they have done well using the Google classroom format and worked hard from home on all activities. I hope this is the last time we use online learning as attending school is a much better environment. For each subject, we did our best to carry on with learning as if we were at school using the same content and activities, slightly adapted so that work could be done at home.
In English, the students; planned and wrote a newspaper article about a natural disaster. Over the week the students took a paragraph at a time and carefully thought about the features that should be included and what they have learnt.
In maths, last week the focus was multiplication, and this week the student’s revised division. They used their knowledge of their times tables to help them solve a variety of problems using different methods.
For IPC, the students looked at three different processes; the phases of the moon, how clouds are formed, and the water cycles. They looked at the key terms, made visual representations, and wrote explanations.
That’s all for this week, have a great weekend; it will be wonderful to have everyone back in school on Monday.
