Focus on Learning

Stage 2 Focus on Learning

By Meg Humphrey Stage 2 Tea

Literacy

This week in Writing, our focus is on writing informative narratives about the solar system. Students are combining their knowledge of space facts with creative storytelling techniques. They'll be working to make their factual information exciting and engaging by weaving it into a narrative format, allowing readers to learn while enjoying a story! I look forward to seeing how they finish these over the next few weeks. 

Numeracy

In Maths, we are nearing the end of our unit on multiplication! Students are consolidating their understanding of various strategies, including the associative, distributive, and commutative properties. We're working hard to ensure they have a strong grasp of these important concepts, which will build a solid foundation for future Maths learning. Especially when it comes to division, something coming ahead in semester 2...

Science

This week in Science, we're focusing on the incredible Sun and its immense power of light and heat. Students will explore how the Sun provides energy to Earth, its importance for life, and how light and heat travel from this giant star.  We are showcasing out understanding by creating Kahoots for our classmates to complete!
