Term 3- week 1: April 18th-21st 2017
Everyone has had a very
nice start to term three. We have begun to tune in on our new Inquiry subject,
which evolves about taking care of our environment and the interdependence
between living things. Next week we will begin to teach them new material and guide them in research.
We have had a fun week
in math, learning about weight and capacity using scales and graduated
cylinders to measure objects and water.
Students enjoy practicing their math skills to play games during Math Quest time.
Everyone planted their own seed to grow a plant for Earth day

stories would say to each other, and how we can show this dialogue in speech
bubbles and by using speech marks.

Inquiry
|
This week we began the tuning in to our
next theme of sharing the planet. This
week we have just been allowing the students to discover what they already
know about living things, habitats and the interdependence of all living
things.
Central idea
The interdependence between living
things
affects their survival.
Lines of inquiry
·
The needs of living things to survive
·
Ways living things depend on each other
·
Our responsibility towards living things
|
·
Next week we begin the finding out phase
of inquiry and will research answers and information that we will need to
extend our knowledge.
