Welcome Back to Term 2!

We hope you had a fantastic break and are ready for another exciting term filled with learning and growth. We've certainly hit the ground running this week. Here is what we have been up to:

Literacy Adventures: In literacy, our students have delved into the world of information texts, focusing on Angler fish. We're learning how to effectively organize information and identify various text features. Additionally, we've been investigating how sentences are formed and how to expand them.

Mathematical Marvels: This week, our mathematical minds have been buzzing with multiplication madness! We've been mastering our multiplication skills through engaging activities and daily fluency practice. One highlight has been the creation of some wonderful times table flowers!

Science Shenanigans: The highlight of our week has been the commencement of our science unit. We dove into the world of matter by creating oobleck, and what an adventure it was! The students marveled at its ability to shift between solid and liquid states, sparking curiosity and exploration not to mention a huge mess too!

Geography Explorations: Our geography unit has kicked off by exploring our great country. We looked at the oceans and seas surrounding our continent as well as the capital cities of our states and territories. The students really enjoyed looking at some of the unique places in Australia such as The Blue Hole, Fraser Island, Painted Cliffs and more!
