Term 3 Week 6 - 23rd August 2024

Le Page MS readathon and Book week

Well done on everyone’s efforts during the MS Readathon! We loved everyone’s costumes during Book week, the creativity and efforts were very impressive!

What we are learning!

Maths:

In maths we have covered subtraction. We have discussed that subtraction is the same as minus and take away, and it is when the number gets smaller. We have been using counters, and making lots of craft that help us understand and comprehend subtraction

Little Learners love literacy:

We continue to stream our Little Learners Love Literacy program between the Prep-2 cohort. The students love being challenged and motivated in their new groups this term, and they are all absolutely thriving.The LLLL program focuses on letter sounds and how we can use them in our word formation.

Literacy:

As we continue to learn all about rhyming words and poetry, the students are getting better and better at putting rhyming words together to make 2 sentences that create a rhyming couplet.

Leader In me:

We are continually embedding the 7 habits language into our daily teaching through the weeks. This week’s focus is Habit 2: Begin with the end in mind!

Inquiry:

This term for inquiry, our topic is animal life cycles and habitats. So far, we have learnt about the life cycles of a butterfly, frog, plant and dog. We are so excited for our eggs to arrive in a couple weeks, we will be watching them hatch into chicks, and keeping them for 2 weeks!
