Year 2/3 Steiner
Celebrating Learning

Kii families and carers,

Welcome back!

We’ve started off this term with a Fibers, Fur and Weavers Main Lesson. Students have been learning about silk production, the life cycle of silkworms, fables on how silk was discovered and about The Silk Road. We’ve also begun exploring wool production and students will be creating their own weavings with beautiful naturally dyed wool.

Both this Main Lesson and our Food and Farming Main Lesson, will link in perfectly with our excursion to Collingwood Children’s Farm later in the term. More info to come soon :)

In Mathematics, students have been ordering two and three digit numbers from smallest to largest through lots of hands-on activities using large, felted lily pad numbers, dice and games. We have also been revisiting 2D shapes. Students went on a shapes walk, where they recorded and tallied up how many of each shape they could find around the school. They also created their own artwork using various shapes. These are adorable and are displayed in our corridor!

In Literacy, we’ve been focusing on the reading comprehension strategy of making predictions. Making predictions about texts helps students to check their understanding of information while reading. We’ve been recording these predictions in our writing books and students have been revisiting them to see if their predictions came true.
