Hello everyone!

The school year is passing so quickly and we are now in Term 2! We have so much to learn and everyday we are really busy from the moment we step in through the classroom door.

In Numeracy we have been concentrating on place value and learning our tables. We have been measuring lengths in and out of the classroom. Soon we will be working on the important life skill of time.

In Literacy, we have been focusing on Instruction writing. To date, we have written instructions for making paper snowflakes and playing Snakes and Ladders.  We continue to develop our reading skills using Accelerated Reading. We are trying hard to learn our spellings and achieve Dojo points for our efforts. In grammar lessons we are focusing on the use of nouns and verbs.

Our topic this term is ‘Raiders of the Lost Tomb’. We are really interested in learning about the Ancient Egyptians. So far we have developed our map skills to find the position of Egypt and researched interesting facts about Egypt today.  We can’t wait to learn about mummies and the process of mummification!

Also, we have a special visitor who comes each week to teach us about renewable energy - a very important topic at this time.
