Term 1 Week 15 Update

Hello everyone!

We are now into the final week of this term and Christmas is almost here. We spent a bit of each day practising for our Winter Show performance. The school is looking very festive with all the decorations. I look forward to seeing you all on Wednesday.

This week in English, the students wrote, edited and performed their final poems about making an ordinary object sound extraordinary. I was very impressed with the creativity and devices the students used and their performances they spoke clearly and confidently.

In IPC, the students explored simple machines that help us do everyday tasks, such as levers, pulleys and gears. They then made a catapult, investigated which team could fire a table tennis ball the furthest, and explained how a lever helps their catapult.

This week in Math, we continued with mastering the skill of adding and subtracting fractions and decimal numbers. The learners got the opportunity to make use of this skill in word sums where they had to identify the operator that had to be used for each problem.
