Literacy 

This week, in Literacy, students conducted research on the digestive system, focusing on its functions and how it is connected to other body systems. They practiced using linking words to make their writing flow smoothly, and they learned how to include references and citations to show where they found their information. Throughout the week, students applied these skills in their writing, creating clear and well-structured pieces that demonstrated their understanding of the topic. 

Next week: students will learn how to add features to their writing to make it more engaging and informative. They will also practice writing conclusions to effectively wrap up their work and summarize their ideas. 

Mathematics

This week in Maths, students began learning about decimals up to two decimal places. They explored how to read, write, and compare decimals, and practiced using them in different real-life examples to strengthen their understanding.

Next week: students will continue their learning about decimals, focusing on hundredths, thousandths, and equivalent fractions. They will explore how fractions and decimals are related and practice using them in real-life examples to build a deeper understanding.
