Capers
| Prep | In Prep we have demonstrated our understanding of 2D shapes and numbers to 10. We have also learned enough letter sounds to start word building. In HaSS, Prep children have been using the words ‘past’, ‘present’ and ‘future’ to describe how we have grown and changed over time. |
| Year 1 |
In Year 1 we are excited to have planted out our garden beds and we are learning how to care for this special place. In Maths, we are beginning to investigate money. Which coins are the biggest/ smallest and which coins have the most/least value? Are these the same coins? We have researched the Tawny Frogmouth after repeatedly seeing one in the tree next to the classrooms and we have found out that it is not an owl but is a nightjar. |
| Year 2 | What are the chances? Ask your child and they should be able to tell you! We’ve been designing spinners in Maths and discussing the possible outcomes. The narratives we’ve been writing are now more interesting with lots of adjectives and compound sentences. In Science, we are combining materials to be more effective in building structures. Can we make something strong and waterproof? |
| Year 3 | In Year 3, we are finalising our persuasive texts about why our students should be Principal for the day. They have developed a range of rules which are backed up with strong evidence and opinions. In Maths, we have been looking at conducting and recording chance experiments. While HASS, we have been exploring significant celebrations and commemorations in Australia. |
| Year 4 | In Year 4, we are finalising our descriptive and detailed narratives focusing on creating cohesion in our writing to engage the audience. In HASS, we are discussing the diversity in our classrooms and identifying what influences us and our sense of belonging. We are developing PowerPoint presentations to share this information about us as our speaking task to finish the term. Patterns and rules are our focus in Maths and in Science, we are finishing our investigations in to weathering and erosion. |
| Year 5 | In Grade 5, we have started drafting our persuasive texts. We are trying to persuade Mrs Canavan to get a therapy dog for the school! Our Mathematics focus has shifted to learning about the types of symmetry as well as the connection between 2D and 3D shapes. In HaSS, we have been busily creating our presentations on a chosen European country. |
| Year 6 | In Year 6, students have been experimenting with the use of timetables to plan journeys and events. Students have been researching renewable energy sources and drawing visual representations called energy chains. We have also been preparing for our Year 6 Summative Writing Task. |
