Here are some highlights:
- Reading - We started Book Clubs with 3 reading groups this term. It was really enjoyable to read and share a text with the students and the discussion around what we have read, our predictions and connections.
- Maths - We have run cross grouping between Rooms 10 and 11 this term for multiplication and division. This has proved successful for teachers and students. There is less planning for teachers and more streamlined focuses for the students. Many students have made positive comments about this working well which is great. We hope to continue this as much as possible over the next term.
- Writing - We started off the term writing cameos which has provided the students with the opportunity to add more description and language features to their writing. The students enjoyed the very detailed, short cameo writing structure. Towards the end of the term we began writing narratives. The students have struggled with adding more length to their writing and many sure the reader has all the details they need to follow the story. We will continue to write narratives again next term.
- Science Inquiry - What a fantastic, enjoyable inquiry this was. The students were so engrossed with the experiments that we completed, often trying these at home themselves. Throughout this inquiry they have gained a knowledge of acids, bases, dissolving, melting, mixing, solids, gases and liquids. Here are some photos from our inquiry.
I am looking forward to the fun that we will have during our learning during Term 3!
