Year 1/2 Report

m 4 Welcome back to term 4!!

Amazing to see most students in hats and look forward to a fun and exciting last term.

Literacy:

We’ve been reading fairytales like Jack and the Beanstalk and Little Red Riding Hood.
Students are learning to compare characters—like how one is brave and another is sneaky!
We’re spotting special words and phrases that make stories magical and fun.
Students are practising how to make smart guesses about what characters are thinking or feeling.
We’ve been retelling stories in our own words, picking out the most important parts.
Now we’re using what we’ve learned to write our own fairytales—with heroes, villains, and exciting adventures!

Numeracy:

Fractions Fun: We’ve been learning about halves, quarters, and eighths by sharing food, folding paper, and cutting shapes into equal parts.
Mass and Capacity: Students are exploring how heavy things are and how much they can hold—using scales, measuring cups, and water play to compare and measure.
Location and Direction: We’ve been learning to give and follow directions using words like left, right, above, and below. Students have enjoyed using maps and playing treasure hunt games!

Inquiry:

Discovering Roxburgh Park: Students have been learning about the history of Roxburgh Park and how the area has changed over time.
Local Walks: We’ve enjoyed fun walks around our neighbourhood, spotting parks, shops, and special places in our community.
Community Helpers: Students are learning about the important jobs of people who help us—like firefighters, police officers, doctors, and teachers.
Landmarks in Melbourne: We’ve been looking at famous places in Melbourne, such as Federation Square, the Werribee Zoo, Fairy gardens, and the Royal Botanic Gardens.
Creative Projects: Our learning includes drawing maps, making posters, and sharing stories about places we know and love.
