Welcome back to all the girls in 6th class. We are looking forward to a new term, full of fun and learning. After hearing about the wonderful break that everyone had, we eased ourselves back into the routine of school.
The girls have started researching some facts for their new English genre ‘Persuasive’ writing. Our title is ‘Screen time is bad for children’. After doing some research, the girls are finding out that there are two sides to this story! Let’s wait and see who agrees and disagrees with this motion.
The girls learned about directed numbers in Maths and how positive and negative numbers are used in our daily lives. They play a ‘Scratch’ game and a board game based on a hot air balloon. The girls can explain more.
We have been busy modelling clay in Art. Last week the girls made humpty dumpties and learned some clay techniques – slip, score, blend. This week we are making clay masks linking to our History and Geography- Aztecs, Egyptians, Aborigines and Maori. We will post some finished products soon.
More updates next week.
Thanks,
Mrs. Power
