Math Update
We were able to wrap up multiplication and division and start Geometry.Students are bringing home their math notebooks so you can assist in their revision for a final summative assessment in multiplication and division on Monday 3, June. They have stuck in their books the two quizzes we did and corrected as well as a Unit test with my feedback and their corrections. Please use this to revise. The test on Tuesday will have questions just like these.
In Geometry we looked at identifying and drawing a point, line, line segment, rays and angles and polygons with up to ten sides.
Science Update
Students worked in class on a project related to the water cycle. Their task was to create a mini booklet imagining that they are a water droplet moving through the processes of the water cycle. Some students were allowed to take it home on Thursday to complete it for Friday 31 May. However, some students may have been given an extension to complete it for Monday 3rd June.
There will be an assignment due on Friday 7 June. This will help prepare for an assessment in the week of June 11. Please let your child use the power point attached to help with the worksheet.
