It has been literally a marathon after the school reopened with lots of things coming up such as the Juniour school musical and the annual sports day. Both are going to be held in the month of December 2017. Students have begun practicing for both the events and are very excited about them.
At the same the momentum in academics continues. In Mathematics, students have revised the operations of addition and subtraction of decimal numbers and have started looking into multiplication and division of decimal numbers. They have also done co-ordinates and revised the different quadrants and their values. They represented the quadrants on the world map.
They revisited different shapes too.

In unit of inquiry, students have worked on the third line of inquiry- Processes involved in collecting, analysing and collecting data. They have inquired into specific things given to them for example the colums of Rome and other specific things related to art and architecture.
We also had a guest lecturer in class, Ms Averil, who spoke about the Greek Art. Ms Averil has been a head teacher at Montessori in England and is visiting the Academy for two months. Below is a photograph of Ms Averil with grade5's:

I really liked the reflection of what we have done from October 23 to November 4 2017-18!
