Weekly Update - September 4rd- 13th

We focussed on wrapping up our unit of inquiry before the holidays. Children worked hard to demonstrate their understandings of our unit of inquiry by;

• Answering their unit questions using Kiddle as a search engine. Ms Rachel assisted us to identify key words in our questions and we inquired into the answers.

We completed our summative assessments which showed our understanding of ;

• The ways our mindset helps us grow and learn
• Our responsibilities as a learner
• Our rights as a learner

We made some stunning growth mindset art.

We learned about the importance of the skull when we conducted a 'Mr Egghead' experiment. Now we all recognize the importance of our skull and why it is important to wear a helmet at times for extra protection.

MATHEMATICS: We continued our learning about measurement and solved problems using standard and non standard units of measurement.

WRITING: We worked hard to complete our personal recounts - demonstrating our understanding of the writing process.

We made colorful frames and took photographs to display with our published biopoems.

We enjoyed our Tabloid sports day. It was great to be outdoors and active!

We found out about the important Khmer festival Pchum Ben. Understanding the culture and traditions of the country we live in is important. Our wonderful teacher assistants explained the significance of this time of year. We made sand castles, folded lotus flowers, and sketched traditional clothing.

We checked on our class gardens...and discovered how well our plants were growing. We helped the plants along by weeding the garden beds.
