Term 3, Week 2


Thanks to everyone for a great start back to the term. It is wonderful to see the progress made in our independent learning skills since the beginning of the year, and to see the letters, numbers, words, and facts retained over the holidays. We have been enjoying the additional learning support from Miss Giraud, and look forward to our next four weeks together.

What an exciting day we had last Monday when Mr Butterworth created chemical explosions on the field! We’ve definitely expanded our thinking about what a scientist is and does, and this week we focus specifically on the concept of energy – what it is, where it comes from, and what it means to be either “stored” or “kinetic”. We will continue to explore teen and ty numbers – making them by joining sets of tens and ones, and breaking them down into parts. We are enjoying buddy reading with Room 10 (we love having an audience for our ideas!), and we’re looking forward to taking our monochrome/grey scale painting skills to the next level as we explore and recreate shading and patterns found in black and white photography and design.

Two reminders are repeated this week - please get those learning journals back asap so that we can start filling them up with amazing new learning samples, and also, please note that our three way conferences are on this Thursday – get in quick to book the time you want! 

Also to note, because of the three way conferences, school closes at 2pm on Thursday.
