What we have been up to...

Below you can see the students in grade 1/2 engaged in a maths lesson, exploring the idea of arrays to support their growing knowledge of multiplying.

Upcoming Fortnight:

Term 4 - Week 5 and 6

Literacy:  Over the next two weeks students will practice using the reading strategy 'Compare and contrast between text'. They will continue to learn about writing a persuasive text and will learn about the phonemes 'oo' as in book and 'ou' as in cloud.

Mathematics:  During Maths sessions students will continue to explore the concepts of multiplication and sharing. They will also look at 2D & 3D shapes and Perimeter and Area.

Topic:  Our topic lessons will continue to focus on the design process and the need to strive for accuracy, be clear on an objects purpose and to be creative thinkers. Students will investigate the purpose of different objects and the shapes used to construct common items.
