Senior Unit Update Term 1 Week 5

Week 5 is here and it starts off with a bang. Parliament and Civics and Citizenship is a part of our week and by the end of it the Year 7's will know their roles for parliament. This means we will be able to start helping and acting in the school community. The other big thing that is occurring is that we head towards camp next week, details will follow.
Keeping learning is what we are about but also we are working with the children to develop a range of Self- Discipline skills that will support them when moving through this school year and the years to come.

Parliament
Last Friday application were due for roles students wished to apply for in our School Parliament. With 2/3 applying for a role we have been able to give most students a role they wanted. Students will find out what role they have on Friday and from there we will start the process of running the 2018 Student parliament.

Camp
Draws closer and a packing list will be posted and sent home later in the week. (Less chance of losing it before the day.) It is shaping as a great time  We look forward to great weather and learning about water safety.

For fun if interested

Macca's or Bust

Macca’s or Bust Excursion

Last Tuesday, the Year 7’s went on a Maths excursion to Macca’s. They were given a task to figure out how long it would take to walk there and how far away it was. The students were divided into two groups and both groups took two different directions to get there. Group A took the shorter route and got there in 20.15 mins while Group B took the longer route which took them 26.19 mins to get there. When the Year 7’s got there they had to calculate how long it took for them to get served. The class average was 2 minutes. Each student was allowed to bring $7 to spend on lunch. On the trip back, both groups took the same route and made it home in 19.36 minutes.

Year 6 Sorting

In Year 6 maths we have been looking at and doing some sorting. Sorting is the basis of our organisation and helps us to see patterns in the world. Check out some of the sorting we have done this week at the sorting page

Senior Unit Update Week 4 Term 1 2018

https://padlet.com/benj/squirrelsgettingtricky

Well we keep on moving forward in the Senior Unit. The expectation is high in the Senior Unit and we look to reach this mark on all occasions. While sometimes that bar seems so high, we still strive to achieve it and it is in the striving that we find success.

This week in the Senior Unit with routines in place it is all about the learning. Here are some of the highlights for the week ahead.

Unit of Inquiry
As we continue on our investigation of Advertising and persuasive techniques used by advertisers to get us to buy products.
This week we will be presenting our understanding of an advertisement and the techniques used in them to persuade the consumer. This is an oral presentation with a partner and we look forward to seeing what our inquiry produces.

Year 6 Maths - Sorting
This week in Year 6 maths we are looking into sorting and discussing how it helps us to be organised.
We talked about things we sort and keep organised. Discussion on clothes and rooms was interesting as many said they had floordrobes and it can sometimes be hard to keep that sorted. We talked about places like super markets and that the organisation of these places helps us to find the products we looking forward.
Check back for more on sorting through the week.

More to come through the week.
