Room 12 Update!

What a full-on time we are having with production looming and the end of Term 3 fast approaching.
Here's an update on what's been happening and what is coming up.

Maths:
We have now completed our unit on fractions and are entering a unit on statistics. We will not be cross-grouping for this as it fits in perfectly with analysing our results from the survey.

Literacy:
We are completing our unit on character descriptions (you can read some of them on 'Room 12's work' blog, and we will do our best to publish more onto this blog). Our next writing topic is short stories following a 'narrative' story-line.
Our reading programme will be heavily tied in with our inquiry as it is reading and analysing information.

Inquiry:
We are now analysing our results from the Eastbourne Facility Survey and are now putting together proposals using Keynote. These proposals will attempt to convince an audience on why we need this facility in the community. The students will be using some of the feedback and results from the survey to make their proposal stronger and accurate.

Sport:
We will be getting out for sport as much as we can and will be looking at large ball skills. It may be that it is part of our fitness programme.

Production:
We are full-on with production and now that it is only just over a week to our first show, we are 'all hands on deck' with prop-making and rehearsals. The show is looking amazing - be in quick to purchase your tickets.

What's coming up?
* Production - show 1 on Tuesday evening (14th of September)

* We have the New Zealand Ballet coming on Wednesday to perform - amazing!

* Week 9 (production week) will be very busy, so we will not give homework this week.
