Hello everyone!
I hope you all enjoyed a well deserved and restful Seollal holiday, however you chose to spend it. It has been lovely to return to brighter skies and milder temperatures, and we were finally able to enjoy PE lessons out on the big college pitch. Long may the good weather continue!
Here is what we have been up to this week:

Literacy
In Literacy this week, we began our new focus text Island and read the opening chapter together. The book explores the powerful story of how an island is formed from volcanic activity and follows its journey over time as life gradually begins to appear and evolve. Through detailed scientific explanations and beautiful illustrations, the text introduces themes of change, survival and the natural processes that shape our world. We are looking forward to discovering how the island develops as we continue reading.
IPC
In IPC this week, we celebrated the Exit Point for our Look Hear unit, and it was a brilliant way to end our learning. The students became inventors and sound engineers as they first designed their own original musical instruments, carefully considering how they could change both pitch and volume.
After presenting their individual ideas, they worked in groups to evaluate the strongest elements from each design. Together, they selected the most effective features and collaborated to build one final group instrument using a variety of materials.
The creativity, problem solving and teamwork on display were fantastic and a wonderful reflection of everything we have explored throughout the Look Hear unit. Their instruments are looking fabulous already, and I cannot wait to see and hear how successfully they work next week.
Have a lovely weekend! ☺️
