Our week of learning – PYP7

This was a transition week for PYP7, with each class finishing up our unit on materials and starting a new and exciting unit on conflict.

In Language we have been wrapping up our unit 2 objectives, with each class applying the units learning in both fiction and non-fiction writing – and in-depth interaction with texts taking place as part of our readers workshop.

Unit 2 Maths is currently being wrapped up, with us exploring shape and statistics. In shape we are exploring the properties of shape - symmetry and angles. Our statistics learning centres on presenting and reading data in various ways.

Tuning in at PYP7 Beta

Our new Unit of Inquiry kicked off this week with each class tuning in to levels of prior knowledge. This included: gallery walks to provoke current knowledge, game playing to stir emotions of conflict and discussion around conflict – based on our previous ‘Build your own country’ work.

Our learning - The week beginning Monday 24th October, 2016

In Language this past week we have visited two genres, the first of these is concrete poetry. We examined imagery and how to use it to produce effective poetry. We also looked at explanation texts, one of the ways we have been presenting information in PYP7.

In Maths, we have been completing our Unit 2 objectives, including ordering fractions, decimals, multiplication and division.

As part of our Unit lessons, we have spent time this last week reflecting upon the effectiveness of the materials used. Some of the work is now on display in the hall at Jardim Europa. Check it out while you can!

We have been wrapping up our final days of Unit 2, with the classes finishing their own experiments using the scientific method. We had mixed results with some of the experiments, however we were able to reflect on whether our tests were fair.
