Term 2

Hello to everyone again! We are well into Term 2 now. 

Here’s a snapshot of what to expect.

We have spent the first few weeks of the term revising concepts to prepare for NAPLAN. I am very proud of the way your children conducted themselves during the NAPLAN testing time. Each one gave their very best effort with a positive attitude.

As we move into the remaining weeks of the term we can expect to cover topics such as;

English

·         Visual Literacy - picture books, advertisements and short films
·         Reading Strategies such as predicting, compare and contrast and connecting
·         Grammar - verbs (action, saying, thinking), clauses in complex sentences and collective nouns
·         Punctuation - quotation marks, ellipses, brackets, colons and hyphens
·         Spelling - phonemes au, aw, ie, ew, or, our, sc, alk, eigh, augh, along with some spelling rules
·         Speaking & Listening - super scientist

Maths
·         measurement - length, mass, capacity
·         symmetry
·         number
·         chance

Science

We have finished our Earth & Space science inquiry. Students have chosen a planet to research. They have presented their research on a poster, made a 3D model of their chosen planet and then given an oral presentation. We will now study living things in a Biological Science unit.

HASS

We will be looking at festivals from around the world.

Just a reminder that Super Scientist is just around the corner. Students will present an experiment this semester. I have put a timetable up on the classroom door for students to see what day they are scheduled to present their experiment. Further information regarding this competition can be found on an earlier post.

So much fun to be had in Room 20!!
