Spelling Rule: Prefixes - They are syllables placed at the beginning of a base word that change the meaning of the base word. The prefix itself is always spelt the same way.
English: This week we are using our drafts to write good copies of our Rowan of Rin chapter.
Math: We looked at capacity during rotations today. Students completed a teacher time activity involving estimating and measuring millilitres in different sized containers. Mathletics activities have also been updated to measurement activities. Remember you can log on at home!
The independent activity involved students revising what they know about measuring length. We definitely still need practise on converting cm to mm! Play the game below for some revision.
History: This term we have been learning about Australian history from the perspective of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Over the last few weeks we have been talking about the Yolngu tribe that lived in Eastern Arnhem Land, and began trading with the Macassans. Ask your student about what each group traded, and why they were able to trade peacefully.
Today we revised the different types of sources that we can use to learn more about our history. We looked at Visual, Oral, Physical and Written. See if your child can give you a specific example of each of these sources.
