Year 1 & 2

What a great day the students had last Tuesday, running around Lillydale Lake. We were so proud of our students as they all competed to the best of their ability.

Literacy

This week we started researching an Australian creature for an information report. We have been looking at the Australian Zoo website for information. We have also written recounts of Cross Country and letters to our mums.

We have borrowed non-fiction books for our book boxes and are finding out about the table of contents, the index, and the glossary. We have also been looking at big books about Australian animals - getting ready for our Healesville Sanctuary excursion.

Maths

We have continued our work in Subtraction, learning different strategies, such as counting back, counting on and finding the difference. Students have used playing cards, unfix, icypole sticks and counters to model different ways to complete equations.

Mother’s Day

This week we have been busy making special items for Mother’s Day. We hope you enjoy the presents and work that the students have been working hard on in class and in Art.
