Celebration of Learning
In writing, the 1/2's have been exploring poetry. Students have learned about and written concrete and limerick poems. They enjoyed drawing pictures to write their concrete (or shape) poems in. They now understand that not all poems have to rhyme. Check out some of their poems below.
In maths, the 1/2's have been designing, creating and making patterns. Using a variety of materials they have learned that there are increasing, decreasing and growing patterns. Patterns can be seen all around us in numbers, shapes and colours. Students have loved making patterns for their peers to continue.
As we come to the end of Term 2, we would like to thank the 1/2 families for all their support throughout the term and particularly during remote learning. A special thank you to our wonderful parent helpers who have been such amazing supports in the classroom. Congratulations to all students on a fantastic term of learning. We are proud of how resilient and engaged the students have remained throughout the term. We wish all the Year 1/2 families and students a safe and relaxing break, and we look forward to a wonderful Term 3.
