As part of the annual ISS Literacy Week, the children have been immersed in reading and writing, with a visit from the author Fleur Vella Chang, numerous Mystery readers (including Grade 6 students, Ms. Ally, Mrs. Loadwick, Luci- Hugh's mum and Jackie- Erica's mum.) We also enjoyed the Book Character Parade (where we earned 2nd place in the Best Dressed Class Competition) and Book Swap. The children also completed the display boards which they had designed to share our recent UOI learning. We then began tuning in to our next unit by considering what we know about the past and beginning a timeline that we will add to as we go along. Using the concepts of Form (what is it like?), Function (how does it work?), Change (how is it changing?) and Connection (how is it connected to other things?), the children analysed various artefacts from the not too distant past. In Maths, the children created games of chance and consolidated their use of the language of probability (impossible, possible, certain, uncertain, likely, unlikely, maybe, chance). Hugh brought in his drone to share with the class and then we challenged him to try and land it on various targets in the playground. UN Sustainable Development Goal #12 Responsible Consumption and Production:
Book Swap supported responsible consumption and sharing our existing resources. In their final reflections about how exchange systems help our community, many children said that they would continue to donate goods, food and money to those in need. Student Voice: The children shared their learning during 3 Way Conference including their ideas on how their parents could help them achieve their goals.
