Curriculum Information for the Week:
Literacy: Book clubs continue. We have started out Literary essay unit, which will integrate reading and writing, with a focus on themes and providing evidence to support our thinking.
Math: Using what we know is the focus of math this week. This relates to powers of ten, multiplication and division! It is amazing how it is all scaffolded, supporting our ongoing learning.
Unit of Study: Students will begin to understand that individuals have rights, responsibilities and roles in relation to broader society. We will discuss our deserted island simulations from early in the year and talk about the advantages of government systems.
