The Weekly Update Week 10 Term 2
Welcome to Fletcher Bowler and Keely Bruce - from UOW
Market Day next week - week 11 Thurs 2nd July
Students have a new homework focus; A-Z project style with one letter topic each week. Including bibliography which I have taught students to do in class. Next topic is 'Excellent Engineering'.
In literacy we are reading the rhyming couplet 'There will come soft rains" by Sarah Teasdale
There Will Come Soft Rains' quietly shows us how small and fragile humans really are in the bigger picture. It moves people out of the spotlight and focuses instead on birds, trees, and the slow and steady life of nature. What makes it powerful is how calm it sounds, even while saying something heavy. The poem suggests that the world would keep going just fine without us. There is no anger or warning, just a quiet and steady truth. Nature does not need us. That quiet distance makes the message even more powerful. Simple words, deep meaning.
In maths we will work on probability.
In Science we are learning about the human body, particularly the circulatory, digestive and respiratory systems
Geography - students are learning about the colonies and specific areas of NSW where the colonists built and lived and what made those areas desireable for settling.
