Year 1/2 News

Literacy

In Literacy, students have been working on new beginning and ending sounds to assist when reading unfamiliar words. During Writing, they have been building upon simple sentences to more complex ones. Students have been improving the quality of their writing through using descriptive adjectives and verbs, as they create problems and solutions and write the body of their narratives.

Mathematics 

Students have been learning to apply efficient addition and subtraction strategies when problem-solving, then encouraged to show their thinking in different ways. Students have also been using open-ended number lines to support their learning. We are currently exploring Australia Money as learners become familiar with the national currency then use this newfound understanding to answer various questions relating to money.

Inquiry

During Inquiry, students have been developing their research skills to learn about the different seasons as well as the Earth’s relationship with the Sun. We are currently exploring natural disasters and the impact they have on our environment.
