Prep |
In Prep, we are continuing to learn all about animals including their homes, their needs and their babies. We have been using these ideas to create homes in the playdough and small world areas. The children have been working hard on creating their own sentences and responding to stories that we are reading in the classroom. This week we are reading “A Surprise for Dingo” and we will be doing a range of activities, including writing and drawing, about this story. |

Year 1 |
In English, we are still working on writing a retell and we are using our writing checklist to make sure we have written it correctly and made it interesting for the reader. We are getting ready to make our diorama by experimenting with different joining and making techniques in Technology. Our latest class book “WANTED Ralfy Rabbit, Book Burglar!” is a very funny book and next week we will be writing a retell of this story. In Maths we have been investigating object and number patterns and learning how to describe these patterns. |

Year 2 |
We have been very busy in Year Two recording the changes to our bean plants. Some of our plants have grown to 16 cm! We are beginning to learn how we can solve multiplication maths problems and continuing to bump up our writing with compare and contrast words and persuasive language. Best of all we are enjoying our journey back in time learning about what schools were like in the past! |

Year 3 |
In English, we have been busy constructing our narratives based on the a "Kumiko and the Dragon" text. In Maths, students have been learning about addition and subtraction strategies, and partitioning numbers in standard and non-standard ways. In Science, students have been investigating living and non-living things around our school whilst in HASS students have been learning about different celebrations around the world. |

Year 4 |
We are writing our evaluative essay to decide which poem should be included into our time capsule. In Mathematics we have been exploring fractions and working out how to share 5 apples equally between 4 people. By using inquiry questions in our HASS unit, we have discovered what life was like for convicts and we are researching the impact that the European settlement had on our First Australians. |

Year 5 |
Year 5 are having such a fun time with their learning. In English, we are writing stories that end with impact by adding twists or cliff hangers. In Mathematics, we have moved on to a new unit on fractions and have completed some hands- on tasks and games. In Science, we are so excited to go on our excursion to the Planetarium that links to our unit on space! |

Year 6 |
In Year 6, students have been working diligently on their humorous Andy Griffiths inspired narratives. Students have been investing a large amount of time into refining their writing to ensure they are including language features for different effects and punctuating their dialogue correctly. |
