12L

What an outstanding year we have had in 1/2L. Our year has been full of laughter, learning and friendships. The kids were so excited that they could write this year book and share with everyone some of the amazing learning experiences we have had throughout our journey in 2023. 

We have developed our knowledge across all learning areas and some of the ones that stood out to us was, in particular:

 “My favourite learning experience was learning from Stacey lots of things, especially publishing lots of writing and putting them into my portfolio” – Tegh

We learnt how to write Narratives and became an author of our own fictional story. This allowed us to use our imagination, explore and share our own personal thoughts, through our creative words. We researched biographies and autobiographies and, learnt new and exciting information about people we admire in our lives. This ranged from, Mum, Dad, Nanny, Christiano Ronaldo, Albert Einstein and Cathy Freeman and so many other important people that have impacted our lives in some special way. We have developed our ability to write and read a range of text types and genres. We also explored their structures allowing us to become amazing writers.

“I loved learning about the scientist Albert Einstein” – Marilan

“I loved writing procedural texts, especially, ‘how to sneak a monster into school’” – Talal

“I loved learning about Koalas” - Haya

In Maths, we loved doing hands-on the tasks, we were able to work alongside our friends, challenge each other’s thinking and compare our thinking collectively. We developed our understanding in numbers, fractions, data collection, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and so much more. Our thinking across key mathematical areas have really changed, and we are proud of our progress.
