Writing

During writing last term we were focusing on writing sentences that included capital letters, full stops and finger spaces. In our sentences we worked on using our 5 senses to describe and add details. We looked at pictures and thought about what we might be able to see, smell, hear, feel or taste if we were there.

We also did some wonderful Monster Writing, where we designed our own scary monsters and wrote super sentences about what they looked like, smelt like and so on. 

Bounce Back

In Bounce Back we have been looking at relationships and learning how to make friends and include others and discussing what makes a good friend.

We created a friendship wall where we drew a friend and something we like doing with them to remind us of how special our friendships are. 

We also made a friendship wreath for our classroom. We all drew around our hands and decorated them with things about us and joined them together to show that altogether we can create something beautiful. 

Spelling

During spelling, we have been learning about short vowel letters and using this knowledge to spell CVC words by using the sounding out strategy. We have also explored digraphs, which are two letters put together to create a new sound.

Science

In Science, we have been learning about the seasons traditional to the First Nations people of Dharawal country. We enjoyed creating weather mini books with drawings of the types of weather we have learnt about in Science this semester.
