Central Idea:
People’s actions can impact our water resources
Lines of Inquiry:
How water changes (change)
Responsibilities regarding water (responsibility)
Distribution, availability of, and access to, usable water (connection)
We will continue to examine the different parts of the water cycle and begin to look at how water can be filtered using both natural and man made methods. We will also be consolidating our understanding of how water changes between the different states of matter.
Our reading focus will be on synthesising information from different texts and also how to successfully combine new and existing knowledge in an effective way. Children will be building knowledge of the purpose and function of non chronological reports and all the different forms they can come in.
Well done to our Golden book winners this week
Home reading should continue as normal.
Children can also access Mathletics and Reading Eggpress.
Children can begin to look at their own water use and begin to estimate the amounts of water they use on an average day.
Important Reminder – School Snacks and Lunches
At Beacon Hill School have a number of children who are allergic to nuts. When preparing snacks and lunches for your children please avoid using nut products like Nutella and peanut butter. We thank you for your cooperation.
Please keep this in mind when sending in food for shared party lunch.
