Capers
| Prep | In Prep we have been learning about the days of the week, different shapes and our new InitiaLit friends, Maggie Mouse, Sammy Snake and Tommy Tiger. We have been practising pointing to words when reading and expressing our favourite part of the story and why. |
| Year 1 | In Year 1 we have been enjoying seeing all the Museum exhibits and using these to help with our information report writing and our science work on habitats. In Maths we are investigating addition and using a part-part-whole model to partition numbers to 20. We have also enjoyed starting our swimming in PE. |
| Year 2 | In Year 2 we have been putting our Super Sentences together now to write an interesting introduction to our stories. We’ll be moving on to the complication and the resolution soon. We have combined Mathematics and Digital Technologies to record data on the iPad. Using Popplet is fun! It was also great fun getting into the pool this week! |
| Year 3 | In Year 3, we have been learning to use a variety of strategies including the jump strategy to solve two-digit word problems. While in our writing, we are focusing on editing our persuasive texts. |
| Year 4 | In English we have been learning how to make our narratives more cohesive and interesting to read. Place value and counting patterns are still a focus in Mathematics and we have been continuing to develop our understanding of the causes of weathering and erosion. |
| Year 5 | Year 5 have had an exciting few weeks. In Science, we have had access to more hands-on materials from the Queensland Museum. Our classroom is also filled with beautiful bright artworks that link to our learning. In Mathematics, we are about to finish our mini unit on Angles and persuasive writing in English continues to be our focus. |
| Year 6 | In Year 6, students have been identifying and explaining how Australia is connected to other places around the globe. In particular, students have analysed Australia’s foreign aid, trade, migration and tourism, and commented on how these might impact everyday life. In Mathematics, students have been identifying the features of and finding trends in two-way tables and side-by-side column graphs. |
