Inquiry Focus
Students have begun to present the exhibit plans that they have for our Princes Hill Primary School Museum. Students have been able to use some of the understanding that they have developed through our investigations into persuasive text to argue the merits of their exhibit idea. This week we are asking the students to consider who would potentially come to our museum. What kind of experience would they expect and what information would be important to us to share with them through our exhibits? We are beginning to explore how students can collaborate effectively. Specifically we will be looking at identifying roles within a group.
Mathematics Focus
We will be continuing to explore concepts of multiplication, place value and area through our museum map designs and this week we will also further explore accurate measuring and some aspects of scale. Target sessions will also run focusing on specific points of need.
Literacy Focus
We will be introducing a book review provocation to the students this week to build on the reading log that students are keeping in the back of their literacy books. Within the book review students will be asked to share their ideas and feelings about reading, describe how authors develop character, setting and plot. The book review will be due this Friday for the year fours. Year three students will have an additional week due to NAPLAN testing which will be held this Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Wellbeing Focus
We have been exploring the concept of empathy with the students as a way for them to develop social awareness. We have been asking students to consider what the feelings of another person may be in a given situation and how that could influence our behaviour and the choices that we make. This learning has been taking place in informal conversational settings and through our regular 'circle time' sessions.
