Dear Parents and Students,
I
hope everyone is enjoying the cool change, and that nobody is feeling too cold.
We have been busy in class, as usual.
In Maths,
we completed Topic 3 with a topic test and performance assessment. Next week,
we will begin Topic 4, which is dedicated to division.
We spent some of
our Literacy Workshop time observing Global Awareness Week, and
we had some insightful conversations about what we can do to improve our world.
We discussed various goal we can set ourselves, and then wrote about them in
our journals. Finally, we typed our proposals to present with our Goalkeeper
posters that we created via the World's Largest Lesson website. We all hope to be able to achieve our goals
during the short and long term future.
Our studies of
the Earth in Science have shifted from slow surface changes to rapid
changes. Our Mystery Science activity has us investigating the causes and
effects of landslides, and using our newly acquired knowledge to design ways in
which we can prevent or minimise damage. We also learned more about earthquakes
this week, and we will further our learning next Friday, when we visit the
Taichung Earthquake Museum.
In Social
Studies, we have been focusing on natural resources, which has fitted in
well with our discussions of Global Awareness. Next week, we will review
all we have studied over the past few weeks, and a minor test will take place
on the following Tuesday, 16th October.
As you know,
Wednesday, 10th October is a public holiday, and school will be
closed for the day. Our
field trip will take place on Friday. Other important dates are listed below. I hope you all
enjoy the weekend, and I'll see you all on Monday!
