Spotlight on Learning - Sea 1 & 2

English

Sea 1 and 2 have been exploring narrative writing this term. Students have learnt to create characters, develop a plot, and describe settings, all while conveying emotions and messages. They are learning to express their creativity and improve storytelling skills through the process of planning, writing and editing. Students practised giving peer feedback and self-feedback to enhance their stories further. They have created some wonderfully imaginative stories about the beach!

Maths

Over the past three weeks in maths, Sea 1 and 2 students have learnt about multiplicative relations, 2D shapes and area. They have been consolidating and connecting concepts through the design of a farm, where they have been allocated a certain ‘acreage’ of land to provide different spaces for their various animals. To extend students in applying concepts across different areas of maths, they also calculated cost per unit in terms of land and the length of fencing required to section off their farm.
