Grade 1/2

Term 2 wrap up

As we reach the end of Term 2, here are some highlights of all the wonderful things we have done in Grade 1/2. We hope you all have a lovely restful winter break and we look forward to seeing everyone in Term 3!

Reader's and Writer's Workshop

Our procedural texts unit was definitely a highlight with the Grade 1/2's enjoying yummy fairy bread, avocado dip, learning to make origami animals by following instructions and also testing out some exact instructions drawing challenges with the teachers. We also got to share our skills with the Grade 5's during buddy time where we taught them how to make origami cats, dogs and fish.

Maths

In maths we have started our unit on measurement and students have enjoyed measuring the length of various items and our friends in the classroom using unifix, icy pole sticks and other informal measuring tools. They have also had a go at hefting different items to compare heavier and lighter and using balance scales to compare mass.

Inquiry

In Inquiry we have finished our Light and Sound unit with a bang! Students enjoyed creating their musical instruments out of recycled instruments and then had an impromptu performance in the classroom.
