Miss Deane - Junior Classroom Teacher

Literacy:

Our Prep students continued developing their understanding of digraphs, focusing on the sounds 'th', 'ck' and 'wh'. They practised recognising these sounds in words and applying their knowledge when reading and spelling words such as whack, pack and thug.

Our Year 1/2 students explored the 'ow' and 'ou' sounds, beginning to investigate spelling patterns and how the placement of certain letters can influence the spelling of words. They practised identifying these patterns in words such as town and down.

This fortnight, our junior students explored the exciting world of book reviews! They learnt how to plan, create and present a book review about one of their all-time favourite books. Students described their chosen book, shared what they enjoyed most about it and presented their favourite parts to the class.

Maths:

In Math, our junior students completed their maths testing for the semester to help with their reports. They demonstrated their understanding of the concepts covered and put their skills into practice. Next week, students will begin exploring fractions, developing their understanding of how whole objects and quantities can be divided into equal parts.
