Welcome back to the new school year. As you probably know we have been very busy so far. Equally you have been probably wondering about what has been going on with regards to a mysterious character on campus. Well, the mystery has been solved. Today we had a special guest appear in our classroom. Mirzo Ulugbek, the famous 14th century scientist and ruler from Central Asia surprised us with his visit to our classroom this morning. The boys and girls have been doing quite a bit of research about the contribution of science from Central Asia, and of course Mirzo Ulugbek's name was the most prominent they came across in their research. In any event, by his presence, he was able to clear up quite a bit of the mystery. This helpful to the students as they prepare for their summative assessment next week. They will be researching and writing a biography about a famous inventor ,scientist or explorer, as well as presenting their research in the form of a "video autobiography" where they pretend they are the person, and assume their character. They have also been encouraged to dress up for their short video. The children will also do a "ladder of feedback" where they provide constructive suggestions and feedback to each other. In Math this week the focus has been to take our graphing to another level by doing cartesian coordination, better known as finding coordinates on a map. They have been using the Blue Bots. All in all, it has been an exciting week. They also managed to find some time to work on their Rainbow Sheep stories and their mental math. Have a restful weekend!
