Mathematics and Science
In Term 2 students worked very hard to develop a good understanding of many mathematical concepts in Algebra. Year 6 – 7's had a number of very challenging mathematical tasks to develop a good understanding, and the ability to apply their new knowledge to everyday situations. They studied fractions, addition and multiplication by whole numbers. They also learned about proportions and ratios. They are now able to solve the problems of ratios by number of ways.
Year 8- 9 challenge was to master integers, index law and order of operations. Students completed many calculations and now they are able to apply them to problem solving tasks.
Term 2 in the Year 3-5 Science class was very challenging – as they had to adjust to so many changes in our society. I feel proud of our students and how well they adjusted to this very unsettling time. Students worked hard to develop an understanding of reversible and irreversible changes of matter. They started to develop an understanding of the classification of the living things. It was a good term for most of our students.
