The
students are having a visualized repetition of the anatomy of the ear to ensure
that they understand how every part of the ear .i.e the pinna, outer canal, eardrum the three bones hammer, anvil and stirrup triggers off vibrations that will in turn
stimulate hearing. The children are also to understand the role the ear plays in
localization of sound and balance. We have integrated this with phonetics to
understand syllables. Simple experiments will be performed to examine
vibrations, frequencies, tones, pitches and intensities of sounds. This may
require that the children who play instruments take with them their instruments( only portable instruments) to school.There is an attempt to revive acting out Romeo and Juliet. When the play is ready it will be filmed.
Mathematics
Most of the
children are working on the relationship between fractions, decimals and
percentage. Group activities will be
encouraged with an aim of getting the children to be able to reason logically
and to communicate orally how they approach different problem solving
situations in Mathematics.
Every child is currently required to do a
minimum amount of work on every lesson to ensure that every lesson becomes
productive. This has increased efficiency in calculating Mathematics.
Memorizing tables and squares will make a whole difference for every child. It
is optional for parents to ensure that their children memorise the tables from
1 to 12 and the square number, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25,36, 49 etc.
Internet Course for Parents and Students
There will
be a course about use of the internet( esp Social Media and Children ) for both parents and students. The grade
fives will have the course on the 20th April in Vasa Real school at 9:00. The parents will have the course at 18:00, also at Vasa Real.
Sista lovet för läsåret
är avklarat och nu kör vi fram till sommaren! Vi har mycket roligt att se fram
emot och mycket mer att lära.
Veckan som varit
har vi avslutat våra deckare och skrivit historieprov. Jag är imponerad över
det fokus och vilja att lyckas som samtliga i klassen har visat och ser fram
emot att läsa resultaten.
Nästa vecka ska
klassen få göra podcasts från medeltiden som ett avslut på arbetsområdet. Efter
det sätter vi igång med två nya arbetsområden, Media och källkritik
(samhällskunskap) och Stavning (svenska). Planeringar och mer information om
dessa kommer inom kort.
Svenska:
Läsläxa i läsutmaningen, minst 3 gånger 15 minuter (fyll i läsprotokoll)
