In Week 7, the year 4’s put in a great effort to prepare and host their assembly.

Students shared their learning from their religion lessons about racial purity. In Jesus’s time, people and places and things were considered clean or unclean. This was called Ritual Purity. In the Jewish religion, people had to be Ritually Pure to be able to enter the temple. Ritual uncleanliness is NOT the same as ordinary uncleanliness such as dirt stains. Each student made a poster about Ritual Purity.

We have also been learning about living conditions in 18^th century Britain and the journey of the First Fleet. Students researched a convict to find out their crime, sentence, and other facts. Students used this information to write a historical recount from the perspective of their convict.

We have recently started learning about procedural texts. We identified the type of language that should be used in procedural texts and then followed the steps to create a balloon rocket!
