We have been glad to get back to school after the October week.

This week we have done a lot of work on IDL as we didn’t manage to finish this before the holiday.

We have been learning a lot about the benefits of technology and the impacts of mining on the environment and on the people who live nearby places that are being mined. We have been able to connect this to our imaginary community that we created as a class where we live in a beautiful part of the rainforest that has a unique ecosystem that we need to look after. As members of the community, we have been writing diary entries about our concerns over the mining company coming to mine near to where we all live.

We have also completed a Numeracy assessment all about Data Handling. We have also been learning more about Pie Charts in class this week.

Several members of the class have been involved in the running of a stall to raise money for school funds. They have been selling lots of things at the stall.

In PE, we have been learning how to play badminton. We have also had a fitness test that we are going to repeat in a few weeks to see if our fitness levels have improved.
