Tai O Trip Selfie Challenge Photos
Thank you again to all our parents who came to support us on our trip to Tai O and Tung Chung. If you have any photos of your group from the selfie challenge please send them to your child’s class teacher.
Homes have been influenced by a variety of factors over time.
We will be inquiring into:
- What a home is (form)
- Why homes have changed over time (causation)
- How homes in Hong Kong (the local environment) have changed over time (change)
This coming week Year 3 have their trip to Mei Ho House and they will then be reflecting on their trip. They will discuss some of the social factors that have influenced the change in homes in Hong Kong. The children will read some texts and look at photos and pictures of homes around the world. They will then have an opportunity to use their art skills to sketch some homes around the world.
Estimation allows us to measure with different levels of accuracy
- Identifying the standard units used to measure length / mass / capacity/ time
- How we measure objects with accuracy
- How we solve problems involving measurement
Objectives:
- Read and write the time to the quarter hour and 5 minute intervals (past, to)
- Estimate and compare lengths of time: second, minute, hour, day, week, months and years
This coming week the children will be continuing to learn to tell the digital and analogue time. Please help the children by asking them what the time is! Particularly when it is quarter to or quarter past.
Mathletics passwords are in your child’s diary. Please make sure that an adult supports your child when working through the activities.
This coming week we will continue to write an independent information report on different homes in Hong Kong.
We will continue to examine what we know prior to reading, what we learnt after reading and how we can join this information to create new knowledge – synthesis.
Well done to all golden book winners this week!
