Spelling homework is due Friday.
MUM - We have started out unit on geometry. This week we will continue to work on measuring angles using a protractor and move into perpendicular and parallel lines, 90 degree turns, and identifying and estimating angles.
Science - Last week we started our human body unit. We will be learning all about the heart - how blood flows through the heart, blood types, the function of the heart, and how to keep our hearts healthy. We will also learn about the lungs - the function of the lungs, how they are connected to the heart, and the different parts of the lungs. This unit will take approximately two weeks to complete. Students were given a workbook which already contains the study guide at the back. This will make it easy for students to study along the way!
