Year 6 Term 1 Week 17 Blog

In English class this week the students shared their Christmas stories with the class. The students also worked on practicing their performances for the Christmas event. The students also began brainstorming what they hope their uniforms will look like for when they enter the MYP program next year.

In UOI class the students worked on their exhibition projects, and creating new slides for their presentations on famous inventions throughout history. The students were given a checklist to follow for their Google Slides presentations on what their expectations are for this project.

In Maths class this week the students worked on a cumulative review covering multiplication, divisions, decimals, statistics, and place value. The students enjoyed working in their groups to show what skills and techniques they have remember from past units.

Last night's Christmas show was a great success. The students worked very hard to create a nice performance and Christmas story to present to the parents. They should be commended for their hard work and effort. I would like to thank all of the parents who helped support last night's event as well. Without your help and support we could not have such a nice events for the students.

As Term 1 comes to a close, I would like to wish all of the students and families a safe and Merry Christmas and a very happy and healthy New Year. I look forward to welcoming you all back for Term 2.

Geography geniuses

This week we have been continuing on with our unit on migration. In order to do this properly we need to know the world map well. We have given a fair amount of time to learning the names of the oceans and continents. The most enjoyable activity was using Google earth to find the places we are learning about. We even used 'Google Glasses' to watch 3D clips of far off places too. In our English lessons we have been reading about the migration experiences of young people. Our purpose was to do 'active reading'. This means that we have to think, take notes and talk to someone was we read. In this way, we understand the text more deeply. On Wednesday Our P.E teacher came to share his migration experience with us. He is Brazilian and taught us some basic facts about his country. It developed into a whole geography lesson about Brazil. We learned about how big Brazil is! Mr. Xavi told us about the Amazon jungle. we had so many questions to ask him. ...
