Term 2 - Week 3

Another 4 day school week!!!!

English
During English this week, students had a look at the structure of a feature article, we also recapped what Text Features were used in our ‘Ruthless March of the Toxic Invader’ feature article. Students had a look at more positive and negative language that is used in feature articles to influence their intended audience. 

'Ruthless March of the Toxic Invader' - English Task

Maths
We have reached level ‘L’ in the Times Table Challenge this week. Students are working really hard to try and reach the 50 out of 50 to get to the next level. Students sat their Number Crunch Mathematics test this week. They had to sit and crunch out numbers for division, multiplication, word problems and fractions. 

Attendance
Another big attendance from 5A this week. Lots of information being embedded into our brains for the weeks ahead. 

Week 3 Perfect Attendance Students

Other Activities 
During Boot Camp this week, our students had a go at the Beep Test. The Year 4 and 5 students ran it together and reached a top score level of 6.5 and then our Year 6 students gave it a go. I attempted the Beep Test with the Year 6 students, it wasn’t my best effort, but I survived at a level 6.6. There were two other students who reached over level 8. Very impressive. 

Students also had the opportunity to complete their Health Assessment on Wednesday explaining why a healthy habit is good and how to continue the healthy habit when they get older. We had access to the computer lab for 5A to research and answer these questions. 

Not sure how next week is going to pan out with this 5 day week about to happen in Week 4. Three weeks in a row with only 4 school days in each… You can kind of get used to it.
