The Next Fortnight of Learning

Mathematics

Over the next two weeks, we will be focusing on Algebra where we will be identifying patterns with numbers.  We will also be exploring Angles and how to accurately measure with a protractor.

Literacy

In reading, we will be studying inference where we will be particularly mindful of a character’s inner feelings by looking closely at their actions and behaviours.

In writing, we have been looking at the components of a biography and will be writing some of our own.  Who knows, you might have your life written up by a budding young writer in your house!

Inquiry

We have been working very hard in composing a presentation of a prominent Australian and what effect they have had on our nation.  It’s time to present!

Wellbeing

Our Term 2 topic for Resilience Rights and Respectful Relationships is Help Seeking.

Reminders

• Return your Winter Lightning Premiership slip if you haven’t already done so.
• Book in for Parent Teacher Interviews so you can hear how wonderful and angelic your child really is!
