Week of 28th October 2019

This was a short week!...nevertheless a good one where many learnings happened.

In English students explored sentence length and fluency in an interesting way. At first, they interlocked a few rubber bands and stretched them as much as they could.
Then they read a paragraph. In the paragraph, they identified short and long sentences.
Students were asked to knock out the unnecessary words from a sentence

Students also explored tongue twisters in English.
How do we make a tongue twister? What is required to make a tongue twister?
Students had to think on the above questions and come up with a tongue twister. An example of a tongue twister was given to them:

Below is a photograph of students exploring the length of rubberbands and sentences.

In Maths students continued to practice order of operations in their groups for the initial part of the week. They practiced it through www.myimaths.com and on google drive. 

Some of the students had the opportunity to play a fun game with the order of operations while solving the problems.

In the unit of inquiry, students did some reflection on the achievements of the 21st century. The questions which they thought on were:

What they can't live without?

What live makes their lives easier?

What is/are the technology which they can't live without?

What achievements did the world have in the last five years?
