This week's overall topic continues on from last week - The NZ Flag Debate. I originally planned for this to only be a topic for one week, however all students were very interested in this topic and it worked really well with all learning focuses. It also became clear that there were gaps in their learning in some areas, so the original plans needed to be adapted and extended for another week. In reading we will continue reading articles about the debate but move the focus towards comparing and contrasting different viewpoints, and may try to use 'kahoot' to create quizzes on the debate. Writing will continue with creating a persuasive piece of the flag, but focus on setting individual goals and group assessing at the end of each session. Maths will focus on the survey and bar graphs they made last week about what our classroom thinks about the debate, whereby we will learn how to analyse and convert the data into fractions, decimals, and percentages. Inquiry will continue with the cultural music focus, with an aim of bringing that to an end this week and being able to move into sport next week. There should be plenty of variety and group work this week, ensuring engagement levels remain high and their achievement of all learning intentions persists.
Here are links to each area's weekly overview.
