Class Happenings
2/3/4 have been super busy this term and have enjoyed learning about lots of different topics. Students are currently working on projects at home incorporating all the different topics we have looked at this term. Some of these topics have been Parish and local community history, where we had the opportunity to investigate St Joseph’s Church and other local churches, 2D shapes and 3D object in maths and stained-glass artworks during creative arts.
We have been further exploring how to make our writing more engaging for reader by including speech/quotation marks, expanding our vocabulary to use more descriptive language and learning some new and different literary techniques. Students brainstormed all the different, descriptive ways that people could say things in their writing, we are still adding to our list.
Students have explored materials, mixtures and solutions in science with Mrs. Best. They are exploring the ways that they can be used to create new or recycled materials.
In Religious Education we have explored some of our local Parish history, other religious groups and their practices and how they are similar and different to the Catholic Church. We have more recently explored some ancient history and the relationship between Samaria, Judea and Galilee.
In PD/H students have learnt about inclusiveness and are developing different games incorporating some the ideas they have developed and the knowledge they have gained.
We recently became ‘Shape Seekers’ in math’s and went on an adventure to discover hidden treasure by creating maps and 3D models.
Next week is shaping up to be a busy end to the year with Church Model presentations (keep an eye out for a Facebook Live Expo), finishing final artworks, playing and testing the games we have made, visiting the cemetery and finishing our final publications for the term.
