Room 12 have had a wonderful start to the Term and the students have come back refreshed and eager!
Here is a run-down on the topics for the Term:
Writing: We are focusing on narrative writing. We have already been looking into what makes a good story and the students have been brainstorming their ideas. Our next step is to read some narratives and create some success criteria.
Inquiry: We are focusing on natural disasters this Term and will be paying particular attention to the 'being prepared' aspect of the unit. The students have been sharing their knowledge on 5 natural disasters (the 5 which we will be focusing on) which are earthquakes, tsunamis, landslips, floods and volcanoes.
Physical Education: Athletics! A strength for so many of our students! We started our athletics unit on Tuesday and will be doing our rotations every Tuesday afternoon. If you have a certain strength in coaching athletics, come down to the school on Tuesday afternoons from 1:40pm!
Art: our art unit for this Term is photography. I have already shared this with the students and they are so excited about it! We begin our first lesson Friday. No cameras yet though!
Maths: We have started with revision for the first 3 weeks of Term. This is important as it revisits some important teaching and learning that was done earlier in the year. Keep practicing those basic facts!
Check out the class working hard. Already!!
