We are finishing up our unit on narrative writing and are excited to share our amazingly descriptive stories with you all at expo later in the term. We are now focused on poetry, learning all about what makes a poem a poem and the devices poets use. We are nearly through all our spelling sounds for the year and have been working on homonyms and homophones.
Our focus is now onto financial maths after finishing up our revision of fractions in Week 6. Students are learning all about equivalent amounts and will be starting a money investigation next week called Big Spender. Ask your child to play Hundred or Bust with you at home.
Our creative juices are well and truly flowing this term with amazing creations being made during Connected learning. We will send home some beautiful artworks and creations for you all, just in time for the gift giving season.
Some highlights from the students are:
- I really liked writing my narrative, it was really fun.
- I liked being able to create my own story.
- I loved playing 100 or Bust
- I liked making the images for my narrative.
- I enjoyed the maths questions and problems.
- I am doing really well at the Reading Olympics.
