Welcome back everyone, this week I have attached a copy of our Learning Overview for this term.

2324P5-learning overview term 2

This week we are  exploring the lives of different people throughout Black History Month –

Article 2 (non-discrimination)

The Convention applies to every child without discrimination, whatever their ethnicity, gender, religion, language, abilities or any other status, whatever they think or say, whatever their family background.

Article 30 (children from minority or indigenous groups)

Every child has the right to learn and use the language, customs and religion of their family, whether or not these are shared by the majority of the people in the country where they live.

We have also started our Climate Smarter – Young Scientist & Engineering Project. We carried out an energy audit of some of the electrical equipment we use daily in class. On Friday we created circuits lighting up bulbs, noisy buzzers and motors using clips, batteries and switches. They are all keen scientists investigating how things worked.

As part of our Christmas Enterprise Topic we have formed groups and have been working on the different responsibilities group members must have. Each Group has agreed their Business Titles and will be working on their logo’s and product selection next week.

To support our learning through Enterprise we began our practical knowledge of maths concepts of  Money and Time. This will help us create budgets and plan activities. Also in Math we are learning to measure angles using protractors. We hope to become more accurate with more practise but most people thought it was fun.

Today our whole class was able to attend 9.30 Mass at our Church. The Parish Priest presented the children with their beautiful certificates and encouraged them to follow their parents and God’s wishes. We then joined the parish for the Glorious Mysteries,

Homework begins again from Monday the 23rd of October and can be accessed through Teams but a copy of this Term’s Homework Grid and spelling words has been stuck inside Homework Jotters.
