Welcome back to Semester 2.
Students have got straight back into work as this is a very busy term. We have just finished a writing unit to develop our narratives. I'm hoping students will be able to share their improvements in writing with you at the upcoming Learning Journey. The next focus in writing is persuasive texts. Details on the upcoming topic are in a separate post.
Projects on Antarctica are completed and many students have worked hard to follow the marking rubric. Some samples of projects are on a separate post.
Last week, we looked at chemistry, otherwise known as cooking. We made bread in class and observed the chemical reaction of yeast, which made the bread rise and caused bubbles. The bonus was, we got to test our cooking skills. The verdict was - yummy!
In Mathematics, we are focusing on fractions, decimals, percentages and algebra.
Congratulations to those students chosen for My School Rules teams. Sheldon, Steven and Ramon from our class were successful and will be competing during the term as we lead up to the finals. To improve students general knowledge, could I encourage students to watch the news (or BTN), documentaries and even read newspapers to stay in touch with what's happening around the world.
Lastly, can I please encourage everyone to keep up with all their homework, but particularly the reading and quizzes on our on-line programme. Students should also be collecting data for their citizenship portfolio.
