Foundation Classrooms
Literacy
English
The Foundation students are learning how to write persuasive texts and we think they are already doing an amazing job! Children have been developiong arguments for brushing teeth, going to bed early, which ice cream flavour is best, and which season people should choose to go on holidays. Their language is incredible and we are so impressed with their writing. Well done Foundation!
Spanish
Students have been practicing their pronounciation, counting, classroom instruction, and verbs. Students have been busy organising and matching pictures to instructions and rehearsing them in the classroom. It is so wonderful to see the level of engagement in our Spanish classes this term, we can really see all the children's hard work paying off!
Writers in Residence
Every three weeks, we'll celebrate a different student author, by showcasing their work in both languages. Enjoy this edition's of Writers in Residence.
Check out Hazel's writing in both English and Spanish, Congratulations to Hazel!
Maths
Maths
Students have been busy measuring and sequencing. They have been looking at calendars, working with dates and days of the week, and creating personalised timetables for their school week. Next week we dive into addition and subtraction and we can't wait to begin problem solving these formulas and story puzzles with our clever Foundation students.
