Year 1/2 News

Inquiry

This term, we are learning about culture and what that means to our young students. We are exploring cultures from around the world as students learn that culture encompasses many things, such as, what people from different parts of the world eat, their religion, how they dress, and their customs and traditions.

Literacy

Students are learning how to write a procedure and they are developing their ability to use letter-sound relationships to help with reading unfamiliar words. Learners are also using their prior knowledge to connect with the text they are reading. In addition, students are learning about persuasive writing and supporting their arguments with sound reasoning and factual evidence.  

Mathematics

We are learning about two and three-dimensional shapes, as well as problem-solving by using the four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) to answer worded problems. Students are highlighting important words and numbers, using concrete materials as well as pictorially drawing images to assist in answering their worded problems correctly.
