English:
- We started our Guided Reading groups and worked on our comprehension after we've read a text.
- We worked on correct punctuation for contraction words.
- We wrote some interesting sentences making sure we included adjectives and a variety of punctuation other than the full stop.
- We practised writing similes to help us with our narrative writing.
- We integrated our Geography unit on the Earth's Environment by writing a narrative about a Dinosaur Ant, which is an insect that is considered endangered.
Maths:
- We focussed on addition this week using a variety of strategies: split, jump and columns addition.
- We completed a speed addition test today.
Science:
- We experimented with primary and secondary heat sources. We went on a hunt to find areas around the school that were considered secondary heat sources. We learned that concrete would be a secondary heat source because it was warm from the sun.
- We learned about electric, kinetic and chemical energy.
Geography:
- We discovered and located Australia's neighbours on a world map.
- We learned about the importance of vegetation to our ecosystem.
Health:
- We focused on our own positive traits and the positive traits of others.
Drama:
- We played a fun game of Chirades/Chinese Whispers using words from the THRASS chart. The class enjoyed this game!
Stay tuned for next week! Have a lovely weekend.
