Term 1 has been SO busy already!
We have lots of exciting things happening at the moment in our learning spaces.
In Maths, students have been exploring place value and looking at addition and subtraction.
In English, we have started ‘Literacy Groups’ where all students work on their personal reading, comprehension and word study.
This term our Literacy Group are called:
Waterfalls, Jungles, Rainforests, Oceans, Deserts, Cities and Canyons…that are all landscapes!?
What’s that you say? Why landscapes? WELL. Our Inquiry Unit and ‘Big Idea’ for the Term has included investigating natural, managed and constructed landscapes…
In relation to our Inquiry, students have been studying a book called ‘Flat Stanley’.
Stanley is a boy who had an accident with a noticeboard and unfortunately became flat! He uses this to his advantage and experiences some wonderful adventures…
Currently, we are asking students to help Flat Stanley along in his next adventure. Students will bring home their own Flat Stanley, to treat like a guest and introduce him to their local area!
To further enhance our understanding, the Grade 1/2’s will be going on our excursion this Term on Monday, 19th March. Please look out for the notice sent home for further information!
Please don’t forget to remind your child to bring their satchel both to and from school to change their book daily and collect any notices.
