Turing Class

Module 1

This week, Turing class has begun learning about persuasive language in our English lessons. Using our new skills, we designed captivating leaflets to encourage people to explore our wonderful community. The highlight of the week was a lively debate on the statement, "It is the responsibility of adults to look after our community." Students made compelling arguments on both sides, but the final consensus was clear: looking after our community is everyone's responsibility!

In RE, we've begun our exploration of places of worship. We started by identifying the key features of a Church and are excited to learn about the Gurdwara in our next lesson. Our PSPD lessons have focused on identity, exploring the various factors that shape who we are.

Turing class also had their first swimming lesson at Fairfield this week. Every single student was an exceptional risk-taker, showing immense perseverance and enthusiasm throughout the session.

Turing class have had an excellent first week back at school!

We started the week by exploring our central idea and lines of inquiry through engaging provocation lessons where we created a budget for our own community and discussed our rights, responsibilities, and beliefs. This helped us to understand how these ideas shape our identity. We are really looking forward to exploring our lines of inquiry more in our upcoming inquiry lessons!

In English, we have been focusing on the book 'The Name Jar'. We began by predicting what the story could be about just from looking at the title and cover. Many of our predictions were spot on! After reading the book, we discussed how our names are connected to our identity. Just like the main character, Unhei, we learned that our names are more than just labels—they're a part of what makes us who we are.
