welcome to a new week of school! But first, lets look at the week that was...
Last week ended with the handing in of our Inquiry projects which brought the unit to a close. At the start of the unit I asked all the students to write down a question connected to the unit that they wanted answered. Almost all of the students said that what they learnt over the six weeks helped them answer their question. One student who felt that she hadn't found the answer to her question. She was given time to go and research the answer using the knowledge of how cities and infrastructures work.
We also sat our end of unit maths review on Friday as well. We had spend the last week and a half practicing and reviewing so we could be ready for this test. For most, this part was where they demonstrated how much they knew and how well they used their skills of maths to build understanding of things in division that they did not fully know.
We also ended the week with a back wall full of book reviews.
This week we start our new unit in How we express ourselves.
Central Idea: Advertising can influence and affect the success of a product
Lines of Inquiry:
- Advertising is a way of promoting and informing people about products and ideas
- The attractiveness of a promotion will affect how well the product sells
- It is important to know and understand your market
Concepts: Form and Connection
Related Concepts: Advertising, product and consumerism
We will learn about affectingly marketing and promoting a product, as well as branding and having a target audience. We will also be helping Year 5 in the second half of the unit in promoting and advertising the Exhibition.
We have also started a new unit in Maths and in Literacy which tie in very well with this new Inquiry unit. I will write more about them tomorrow.
