Talk Time- Mondays

It has been wonderful to see the students growing in their confidence each week during our talk time on a Monday. If you are wanting to send in any photos for your child to discuss please email kayla.m@sfxfrankston.catholic.edu.au 

Week 8 topic: 'A superpower you wish you had'

Inquiry

During our Inquiry sessions we have continued our sound stories topic, the children embraced this through exploring different instruments and sound effects. Last week, the students made their own macaras with rice, pasta and beads to make different sounds. We made predictions as a class which of these would be the loudest and softest. 

We recently read the Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson, watched the film and acted it out in a play as a class, with of course some great sound effects of stomping, flying, hissing and running. The children have greatly enjoyed this topic this term. 

Maths

Ms Kayla's Year 1 Mathematics we have been learning Place value and counting. The Grade 1's have explored place value of two digit and starting to learn three digit towards the end of this unit of work. We have explored different representations of to digit numbers and exploring ordering and comparing numbers. Our next topic beginning next week will be Addition and Subtraction.

 Ms Laura and Ms Terri's Year 2 Maths class, they have been exploring learning about telling time.  

Ed in Faith

The Prayer Backpacks have now started going home. They each contain a selection of crafted prayer activities to do with the whole family. Madison and Leah are first two students to take them home. All the grade 2's will have a turn, and then the grade 1's sometime over the course of the year. 

We've also been learning about the sacrament of baptism and the symbolic items that are present during baptisms. 

Library Fun!

On Fridays the children have loved exploring our library space, finding new books each week. Reminder that Friday is our Library day so please be sure to bring back your books and library bag.

Homework- Literacy

This fortnight, we have started our homework packs for your child to take home. In each Literacy class you will be given a folder, diary, 2 books, tricky words. This folder needs to be returned on Fridays so we can swap out the books. Please ensure you are writing the name of the books read in your diary so we know which books you had last week. 

Logins have been sent home for Numbots, Essential Assessment and Multi Lit library for you to access at home.
