Pillars of Care assembly tomorrow

This morning we had a special performance from the band students from SJAM. It was really cool to see some students who used to go to Beddington performing. Some of our favourite songs they played were:

- the theme from Jurassic Park

- Happy from Despicable Me

- Brown eyed girl

We continued our work around area and perimeter today. Students can to measure the sides of shapes to determine perimeter, draw shapes based on a specific area or perimeter, identify area by counting square centimeters and order the value of areas. We will be moving on to a new concept in math this week.

We continued to read our novel today. Edward is starting to develop more emotions. He was discovered in the ocean after a huge storm came and forced him up toward the surface. He was rescued by a fisherman in his net. The fisherman took Edward home to his wife who then decided Edward should be named Susanna. The fisherman's wife made new dresses and outfits for Susanna and placed Susanna in a highchair everyday while she baked. Edward started to become fond of his new family until their daughter came. She was very rough with Edward and decided to throw him away.

In social today we learned about music and dance in Peru. We learned about a few instruments that are made and used in traditional music as well as 3 dances that are performed. Dance is taken very seriously in Peru and often the choreography relates to war, love, agriculture or hunting.
