What's Up In Term 3

Welcome back to Term 3!!
Hope you all had a great holiday and are ready for another exciting Term in Room 4!

Here's what we will be covering under the Rich Task Concept of History - Change Through Time....

Maths:
We will be looking at the Geometry strand for Maths but will be continuing to revisit the other strands of Measurement and Statistics regularly during our Monday Rust Proofing sessions. We will be continuing to look at Problem Solving Strategies to make links between Maths and everyday life.

Literacy:
Our Literacy focus is Persuasive and Speech Writing. We will be developing skills to write persuasive arguments with reference to our Rich Task of Historical Events and their Significance. We will be continuing to develop our Poetic Writing skills using poetic and figurative language to make our writing more interesting! We will be doing a lot of oral language work in preparation for the end of term speeches. By the time they come around we will feel really comfortable speaking in front of others:-)

Art:
We will continue to experiment using Paint, Brushes, Colour Pencils, Chalk, and different paper textures and will hopefully get a chance to make a piece of art out of clay!

Philosophy:
In our community of inquiry and through our blog we will discuss issues/dilemmas relating to things that have happened in the past and whether we have learned from them (genocide, equality, slavery, war)

PE:
Large balls skills and winter games is still on the menu for this term. It's cross country time again so get those running shoes laced up!!

Languages:
Bonjour! French is on the menu for this term! I will be learning along side you guys so should be lots of fun!

Lets continue using the "Balmoral Habits" to push ourselve more and more, take risks, and show our many talents. You guys have been really awesome so far so lets keep it up!
