Term 2 Week 6


Hello Parents,

In Mathematics, we continued to learn about the elements of a clock. We explained their functions and practiced asking and telling the time.We practiced numerals from one to twelve by using a  number line. We had a great time using our handmade clocks to tell the time on the hour, half hour and quarter. We also used measures of time to help with problem solving in real-life situations.


Students' Handmade Clocks

Runa used her handmade clock to tell her classmates the time.


We made up word problems about time and challenged our peers to solve them.  



In English, we continued to work on our writing skills.We wrote our own stories and worked with our peers to identify the various elements of a good story. We wrote our ideas on writing strips and presented the information in class. We also looked at sequencing throughout the week. We read books from the library and  organized ideas in a logical sequence by highlighting the beginning, middle and end of  various written pieces.


In Unit of  Inquiry, we inquired into the importance of adequate housing and worked together to communicate key messages to our peers. We used Think-Pair-Share strategy to develop messages about having a home and brainstormed  ways of completing sentences about various types of homes. 




We had a fun and productive sports day on Friday, October 11th. It was good to see all the students and parents having a great time competing in various races and cheers. Thank you to all the students, parents  and staff for creating such a positive and enthusiastic day.


Have a good weekend,
Ms.Trichelle
