School News and Information 

Stage 2 News

Stage 2 have had an excellent start to Term 2!  The Bilbies and the Wombats have enjoyed their English unit on Wandi.  We have created audio recordings about wildlife sanctuaries, and learnt about conservation.  We have begun working on body percussion in Dance, and are learning about celebrations and commemorations in History. 

Stage 2 enjoyed an excursion to Thalgarrah in Week 1.  We learnt about the traditional Aboriginal way of life that the Anaiwan people may have experienced in the Armidale area. It is always a wonderful day out at Thalgarrah!

In Maths, we have been learning to navigate a range of maps using landmarks, compass directions, directional language and  grid references. Last week, we created 3D maps of Taronga Zoo and wrote directions for visitors to make their way around the animal exhibits. Check out our amazing creations!

Have a great week Martin’s Gully!
