Term 2 Week 9 Update

Don’t forget our trip is next week the students will need to bring: a packed lunch, a snack and wear their school uniform. If anyone hasn’t completed the permission form or bought 10,000 won to help cover the cost, please do so as soon as possible.

In English this week, the class debated abolishing exams; they researched different points and facts and then wrote what they would say. I was impressed with their confidence, how clearly they spoke, and their reasons for and against. 

We carried on with some History in IPC. We started off by looking at how settlers choose a settlement and what they need. Also, the students explored the key reasons for explorers and people settling in newly discovered land. They made a poster to show each of these reasons: God, Glory, and Gold. Next, the children looked at the Silk Road, what it was and how important it was; then they made an interactive map to show trade along the route. 

This week in Math, the students learned more about fractions; they looked at converting between mixed and improper fractions and vice versa. They also looked at how to multiply with mixed fractions. 

That’s all for this week, have a great weekend.
