In the classroom

Foundation

Our Foundation class have settled back into their routines for term 4 amazingly. We are ready for the final stretch before moving into grade 1. 

We continue to learn our more sounds focusing on digraphs (two letter that make one sound). We have also learnt that there are 5 vowels, and they are found in all English words. Check out our amazing writing, we are even super stars with self-edit our work.

We are beginning to look at paddle steamers as we are having a ride on one for our excursion next week. We learnt that they have a big wheel that makes them move through the water and that steam helps it move too.

Year 1

The Grade One class has enjoyed listening to the Italian story of The Legend of Old Befana.  This has been an early beginning to be looking at stories linking in with Christmas.

Year 2

Grade 2 have a great start to Term 4! We have started learning our next round of sound the /ch/ sound at the end of word using tch or ch when the rule that goes with them. We have written recounts about our holidays, making sure we add lots of detail to our writing. Our reading and comprehension sessions have focused on monitoring our reading, making sure that we understand what we are reading not just reading the words. 

Maths has focused on solving worded problems using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, reading the question carefully to decide which process we need to use. 

Year 3/4

The 3/4 class created a vibrant collage that captures the character Roz in The Wild Robot. Their amazing work contrasts between technology and nature as they designed their own robot character with layered shapes and various textures. They all look fabulous! 

Year 5/6

In Literacy, our 5/6's have been reading an exciting fantasy novel called Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow. This exciting novel has already sparked their imagination when coming up with their own characters and fantastical worlds for the narratives they will write this term!

In Mathematics, our 5/6's have been completing their Data Investigation unit using their laptops! This week, students have been learning how to enter data into Excel, then creating side-by-side column graphs or line graphs with data.

In Religion, our 5/6's have been looking at different social justice issues in Australia. Creating research posters, students have look through reliable articles to make an informative poster with some ways we can help our communities.
