Important Reminders

Learning Update!

Week 8 is in the books! Only 1 week to go until the end of Term 3 and we couldn't be more proud of our wonderful students.

In Literacy, we met Yawning Yak and explored the /y/ sound. We explored words that begin with this sound, read sentences with increasing fluency and were introduced to the tricky words "like" and "very". We have continued our punctuation focus exploring when to use capital letters

In Maths, we continue learning about subtraction with hands-on activities to really understand the concept of “taking away.” We continued to explore capacity as a type of measurement. We looked at different capacities, ordered them from smallest to largest and made predictions about capacity. At home, we encourage you to work on taking away using physical objects such as cutlery, toys, lego, clothes and more!

For Wellbeing, we dove further into Help Seeking and explored different people in contexts and how they are helpful to us and when we can go to them when we need help.

In Inquiry, we LOVED creating our habitats for our animals. It was a lovely way to continue our learning but also build up our knowledge around what animals need to survive.

A reminder that next Wednesday, we are headed to Chesterfield Farm. Students will need to wear full school uniform, wear comfortable footwear for walking and a rainj acket in case the weather is unfortunate.

If your child has a specialist class in the afternoon, that teacher will take the students out to the basketball court for dismissal.
