Dear Parents,

We are a group of students from Yr. 6 who are taking part in the Exhibition unit of inquiry. We are the housing group 6H04 and we have been researching shelters in HK as part of our exhibition. As part of our action we are going to be donating food to a shelter in HK.

We would like you to help us and send some canned food items to school so we can make a donation. These are the desired items:

Canned fish
Canned chicken
Canned pork
Canned beef
Canned beans
Biscuits

All of the above need a year or more until their expiry date. The shelter is called St Barnabas society and home and we would very much appreciate it if you could support us. If you would like to help please bring in some canned food or biscuits by Friday 29th April. We will put up a box in the front foyer for you to put your donations.We hope you can help us.

Thank you!

Best regards,

6H04 The housing group

Central Idea

Homes have been influenced by a variety of factors over time.

An inquiry into:

What a home is
The influence of the environment on homes
How and why homes in (the local environment) Hong Kong have changed over time

Children will consider what it may be like to live in a different type of home in Hong Kong, for example a village house, a cage home and even a house boat. They will make decisions as to what they think would be positive, minus or interesting.

recognise the different notes and coins used in Hong Kong
describe, sort and order coins and notes
calculate totals and change needed from given amounts

Central Idea

Understanding time allows us to make accurate measurements in order to identify, compare, order and sequence events.

Identifying standard units used to measure time
Telling the time on analogue and digital clocks
How we use our number knowledge to help us tell the time and solve real-life problems

The children will solve problems involving elapsed time. There are many time games available on the Beacon.

Please encourage your child to complete the Mathletics activities set.

Non-chronological reports
