Last week we learnt about how the brain learns and what are the best ways to improve our learning. We also introduced the five R's for lifelong learning (Responsibility, Reflection, Resourcefulness, Reasoning and Resilience) and thought about how to develop them in making our learning as good as it can possibly be. Throughout the year we shall be regularly referring to these as they are the foundations upon which our children will be successful.
This week we have begun our work in Literacy and Numeracy, the focus being on recount writing and place value respectively. We have also been placing historical events on a timeline in our topic, "Time Before Humans" and begun classifying prehistoric creatures on a branching data base.
I am looking forward to a great year of learning, discovery and fun!
