Term+Two

 = = These are the main topics we have been covering so far this term:

Inquiry: “Standing Room Only”. Focusing on population growth and its impact on our community. (This is an extra for the people who were interested in bridges and how they open. This is called Tower Bridge. It is in London, England. A few people wanted to know how they stopped cars from going over the edge! You can see for yourself...

Literacy: We have been working on a variety of thinker’s keys within our reading programme. We have been learning to sequence ideas, find words from our texts and think creatively to ask questions and invent new ideas.

In our writing we have been continuing to work on our punctuation when writing about personal experiences and what we have been learning in our inquiry topic.

Numeracy: We have covered the position and orientation aspect of the geometry strand this term. We will be working on our addition and subtraction skills now and looking at time near the end of the term.

ICT: We are working on using garageband to record ourselves reading this term. The final step is to create a podcast that can be posted on the wiki. Stay tuned!

The Arts: We are learning to keep to the beat and follow basic rhythm patterns in music. We are also having a go at puppet making in visual art. This one requires a lot of patience and perseverance!

Discovery Time: We are working on managing ourselves and working co-operatively with others. You can see some of our construction work in the corner of our classroom.

Today in Discovery Time we are looking at our wiki. We are also working on sharing and being an innovator. We like Discovery TIme because it is fun and we are learning to do lots of different things. Here is the wiki team having a look at our latest posts: Hailie, Ella, Thomas, Cooper and Liam.



Some of the children have been playing Super Hyper Spider Typer. It is good for learning the keys on the keyboard!
