This week the children consolidated their counting and addition with money and also analysed receipts to see what information they could find. In Literacy we explored fact and opinion and the differences between them. The children sorted statements and began to write their own. As part of our UOI, the class discussed how people earn and use money. We came up with four main ways that people use money: 1. Spend it on things they NEED 2. Spend it on things they WANT 3. Spend it on others (presents or donations to charity etc) 4. Save it We had a guest speaker from the Food Bank Singapore come and talk to us about how we can help to reduce food waste in our own lives and also how we can help those in Singapore who are "Food Insecure" by donating dry goods such as rice, noodles, pasta, tinned food, jars of jam or sauces. There are white donation bins in the school office. This is an exchange system within our school that is helping the wider Singapore community. Our guest speaker told the children that they could get involved by becoming Food Bank Juniors. You can check out their website for more information. http://foodbank.sg/ The children also got the opportunity to visit the Grade 4 Exhibition, which showcased their inquiries into the human body systems.
