Typing Hangul

Kyuhun taught LeeEve how to use the Korean input.
Found the above helpful so pasted them here.
You can get more info from the site at koreanfluent.com.
Looks like the consonants are all on the left and vowels are on the right.
So typing T and then H will give you 소
And V and then M will give you프
Wow…

School - Inquiry based learning

Snippets of what the school is doing Term 3 (G4)…...

Next Unit: Goods and Services
We are very excited to be starting our final unit next week. Very soon the students will be
absorbed in their business ventures and will enjoy many opportunities to collaborate in their
business groups to share their ideas. Over the next three weeks in their business
groups they will be involved in designing, making and advertising their products ready for
the market days. As part of this unit the students will utilize many skills and they have time to
reflect on the opportunities they have to take risks, communicate and be principled learners.
In week 8 the students will be involved in market days to sell the products they design and
produce as a team. More information about the market day will be in the school ebrief next
week, as we would like to invite all of the UWCSEA East community to come and enjoy
this event with us.

If you would like to share your business expertise with the Grade 4 students please
contact your class teacher. This could be experience of setting up a new business; how
people get the idea for their business, as well as the things that any entrepreneur needs to keep
in mind.

Mr Home will also be giving the students tips from his experience of business and things to
consider if you are offering a service to consumers.

Look out Singapore; the Grade 4 entrepreneurs are on their way!

Reading Unit
Next week we will start the reading unit ‘Social Issues Book Club.’ Initially the students will
establish their book clubs and explore the social issues in texts.
Throughout this unit we aim for the students to think about the following questions:
* How do I read with the lens of Social Issues inside of texts?
* How can I deepen my reading comprehension by questioning, empathizing and interpreting
while I read?
* How will talking with my Book Club help me become a better reader and thinker?
Please encourage your child to consider these questions in the readers they bring home to
share over the next few weeks.

Maths
At this stage of the year the students are revising the concepts covered in all areas of
math. This may be through investigations, student challenges and group activities.
