We hope you had or have a great day! K The term is flying past and the children are all working hard. It is great to see the children practising their reading at home. As they start to try and sound out longer words encourage the children to find small words they know in these larger words, read ahead to see if they can use the sentence and the pictures to help them work out the word, or break the big word into smaller chunks. They all enjoyed making and decorating their gingerbread men last week. I need to thank Maylee for sharing her expert gingerbread making skills. In maths we have been practising sharing out items into equal groups which is very tricky. We will be practising learning the months of the year in order! 1 Last week, Year 1 made cheese and spinach triangles, cooked and ate them. Some of us were not sure about the spinach! Most of us tried them and liked it. We have written a procedure on “How to Make Cheese and Spinach Triangles”. (Note from the editor: Mr Gaffey thought they were delicious!!!) This week we have started to learn French Knitting. We have typed a procedure on “How to do French Knitting”. They are looking very long and colourful. In Maths we have been learning our friends of ten, this means two numbers that go together to make 10, some of us are getting very fast at this. We have been using rice to measure the capacity of different containers and ordering them according to size. We have had lots of fun. 2 Year 2 have finished their novel study of ‘Charlotte’s Web’, everyone really enjoyed it and were a little sad that Charlotte did not make the end of the story. Fun was had at the end of last week, when we watched the movie ‘Charlotte’s Web’. Lots of discussion happened as we made connections between the movie and the novel. We are learning about larger numbers and how to count to 10,000 and that the numbers have a pattern. We have started our science topic of ‘Growing Plants’, unfortunately the rain has not allowed us to investigate what plants our in our playground. We have learnt about the parts of a flower and we are able to label them including some real science terms, stamen and sepal. Next week is our Spelling Bee and we are all looking forward to next Thursday 3/4 It is getting closer and closer to our Zoosnooze at Taronga Zoo. We have been learning about the zoo animals that are under threat in the world. The class have looked at posters of the zoo animals and have learnt interesting facts about them, even completed reports on the animals we have studied. The class has also been learning about Mount Fuji in Japan, which is a volcano. We found out information about volcanoes and how they erupt. The class used an atlas and a globe to find "The Ring Of Fire" which is a belt around the Pacific Ocean where half the world’s volcanoes are found. The children are bringing very interesting "Current Affairs' in each week. The class has kept in touch with news around the world and in our community. 5/6 The class has had an interesting fortnight, investigating simple machines and drawing them. The students have had to write detailed explanations about the workings of these machines. Students have also been completing further studies on “The Indian in the Cupboard”, writing detailed summaries of the chapters, learning to make inferences about characters and making gods eyes from sticks and wool. We are also looking forward to our Bathurst Goldfields trip! We hope to return rich! Stay tuned…….. ‘Vegelantes’ News! Our ‘Vegelante’ group has been busy working in the vegetable garden this month, preparing for the Spring crop. Students have planted tomatoes of different colours, lettuce, and some herbs too. Again, we hope these can be used in our healthy canteen as part of our menu options for Term 4.
