Here are some photos of highlights of the week! Even though it was only a short week the children enjoyed a diverse range of activities. The children really enjoyed sharing their body system models with the year 2’s. They also enjoyed tuning into their new unit of inquiry and especially playing the math games that centred around probability and chance.
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 be continue to investigate collaboration by working 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.
Central Idea:
Data can be collected, organised, displayed and analysed in different ways
The children will be learning to:
- Collecting information
- Representing information
- Analysing and interpreting information
Next week, the children will continue to inquire into probability and familiarise themselves with relevant vocabulary to describe the likelihood of events. They will also play various games and have a go at identifying possible outcomes and recognise variation in results of chance experiments.
Next week the children will 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.
Reading
Comprehension Strategy: Connecting
The children will have a go at identifying connections while they are reading to themselves, other texts and the world.
There was no Golden Book Certificate this week!
Due to the public holiday last Monday.
Spelling Journals
Children should bring their spelling journals home every day to practise their spelling words.
Mathletics passwords are in your child’s diary. The children should check their accounts regularly and complete any assigned tasks.
