Finishing Jake Atlas

This week, we finished reading our first book for our weekly book clubs: 

Jake Atlas and the Tomb of the Emerald Snake.

We will take a bit of a break and then choose a different book to read after the spring holidays. 

Meanwhile, we found out that there is a sequel to the first book which is available from the school library! 

We are so excited to keep reading!

Museum of the Ancients

This week, we held a Museum of the Ancients event for our parents, learners in other grades, and the rest of the school community. 

The purpose of this mini-exhibition was to share our learning from our unit with the central idea: The influence of past civilisations is reflected in modern-day societies.

During our independent inquiries, we each focused on an ancient civilisation of our choice. 

Our displays included...

• a collection of summaries about the civilisation
• an explanation of how a particular tool influenced the civilisation
• information on the connections between ancient tools and tools in modern society
• answers/creations related to self-created questions and tasks to go further in our inquiries
• artwork related to the civilisation

Buckle up for some serious learning!

Thank you everyone who supported us in our learning journey!
