Hello everybody welcome back to Term 3 2014.

This term we will be focusing on:

First up - we will be revisiting using full sentences and key words to answer our comprehension questions.  Then we will use Blooms Taxonomy to explore inferencing, application and synthesising text.

Maths:
Starting off with multiplication and division, moving into fractions.  Finishing the term with Geometry, where we will be sing reflection, rotation and translation to make polysymetric tiles.

Visitors:
 We will have NIS ( Nelson Intermediate School) visit this term.

Inquiry:
The key idea is:
As part of the community we share in decisions that build better facilities which enhance Nelson lifestyles. We also contribute towards these facilities.

We aresplit into teams.  Each team has a designing team and a planning team.  Eventually (after exploring the technology design process)  we are going to design a building, something futuristic that Nelson may need, while considering how local Goverments functions and plan for future needs.

Te Reo:
Responding to Kei te pehe akoe? is our focus.
