The first week has flown by and the students have all got to work straight away, which has been very pleasing.
In maths this week, students have been learning about the features of 3D shapes, their nets and cross-sections, as well as revising column addition and subtraction with regrouping and a revision of statistics and graphing.
Our literacy groups are underway and student have been revising and learning new phonics sounds. This week we looked at the different levels of comprehension- from simply drawing details from the text to connecting with our prior knowledge to make inferences about why events happen in a text, which enables us to make predictions. We have been looking at plurals and the various spelling rules. Did you know that "if a noun ends in a y and the letter before is a consonant, we have to change the y to an i and add es?"
In Health we have been exploring the statement: "It's not how smart you are, but how you are smart!" We have been looking at the different types of "smart" you can be (Multiple Intelligences) and did a quiz to discover which one we connected most strongly with.The 8 type "Smart" are
- Body Smart
- Word Smart
- Math Smart
- Art Smart
- Music Smart
- Nature Smart
- People Smart
- Self Smart
We then discussed how we can use our skills to help others.
