Term 2 Week 7 Update

Happy Friday!

It has been a busy week of learning and the time has just flown by. Keep an eye out for a separate update about our class trip!

In English this week, the students continued their work around debate writing. The students wrote an argument for banning something related to school. They also explored different debate questions sorting statements into for or against. From this, they then chose one of these topics and did their own research into them.

During our IPC lesson, we started to explore the differences between villages, towns and cities. Each child picked a place and draw a map and then listed the services that the settlement provides.

This week in Math, we looked at perimeter and area measurements. We looked at using squared paper and measurements to calculate the area of objects. Lastly, we calculated the area of different compound shapes by adding or subtracting simpler shapes.

Have a great weekend!
