1/2B is off to a great start!

What a busy and wonderful start to our year we’ve had here in 1/2B! The students are settling into their school routines, learning and collaborating and having fun along the way.

Maths

Over the last few weeks we have been focussing on place value in our Mathematics Unit. The students have been working with the MAB materials and place value charts to make two and three digit numbers. We have also been learning about and exploring many mathematical terms in place value such as digit, numeral and number. Do you know the difference between a numeral and a number? A numeral is a symbol or figure used to represent a number whereas a number is an amount or value of something. 

Religious Education

We are learning about Lent and the preparation steps we make to be ready for Easter. Fasting, praying and almsgiving are things that Christians do during Lent. The Liturgical colour for Lent is purple. The priest wears purple garments too. 

Gardening Club

1/2 B have been very enthusiastic about Gardening Club on a Friday. Last week students were harvesting, composting and working together in the garden behind the Scanlon Building.
