Wow! What a fabulous assembly from 3G. It was evident that all the children really enjoyed showcasing their talents, well done to all involved!
The children have enjoyed enhancing their collaborative skills this week, especially using the personality compass. The children had lots of fun playing games and observing different behaviours. They enjoyed identifying what zone they were in. Ask you child to tell you about the zones of regulation.
Here are some photos of highlights of the week!
3M had lots of fun playing ‘Battleship’ to enhance their grid reading skills. Ask your child about coordinates!
Central Idea:
Different approaches to collaboration influence the productivity of groups
The children will be inquiring into:
Shared goals in group situations (connection)
Skills and behaviour that support collaboration (responsibility)
The impact of their behaviour on a shared goal (reflection)
Next week, the children will continue investigating collaboration in small groups. They will reflect on their roles within the group and workout what their strengths and weaknesses are when collaborating with others. They will then take on different roles within their groups to become better at collaborating through understanding how the different roles influence the productivity of the group.
Translation and location
The children will be learning to:
- Describe direction and position using mathematical language
- Create and interpret simple grid references to show position and pathways
- Next week, the children will continue to inquire into location and directions and familiarise themselves with relevant vocabulary to describe direction and position. The children will explore whole turn; half turn; quarter turn; clockwise and anti-clockwise.
Next week the children continue to read and deconstruct a variety of persuasive texts to identify the features of an exposition. They will investigate the vocabulary associated with persuasion and look at the influence of facts and emotions when it comes to convincing people about ideas and issues.
The children will explore talking stems and use these during debates.
Reading
Comprehension Strategy: Connecting
The children will continue to identify connections while they are reading to themselves, other texts and the world.
