Thank you to all the parents who helped to prepare
for the Science Supers Stars presentations last week. The students all did a
great job and the presentations helped to develop and support rich
conversations about many scientific topics. Congratulations to Nia and Samara
who were chosen to present in front all of the year two classes.
Scitech Excursion
On Wednesday the 2nd of November Room 25
was lucky enough to go to Scitech for the whole day! We had a fabulous time.
This term in Science we have been learning about forces so it was fantastic to
be able to put this learning into practice. There are so many interesting
exhibits which use the push or pull forces. Some of our favourites where the
interactive light board, the pull your own weight chair and the beehive! We
also watched a theatre show where we saw explosions in slow motion. We even saw
a pencil gun shoot into a bag of oobleck! It was all very cool!
Dancing
On Tuesdays we have our dancing practice. It has
been a lot of fun. We are learning partner dances as well as an individual
dance. Room 25 has some fabulous dancers and we can‘t wait to show you the
finished product at the end of the year.
Literacy
This term in literacy we have been practicing
editing work for mistakes. We are focusing on finding grammar and spelling
mistakes in our own work, as well as the work of others. We have also been
learning how to use emotive words, statistics and rhetorical questions to
upgrade our persuasive writing.
Numeracy
This term we have been focusing on learning our
timetables and answering multiplication questions quickly. We are using timed
tests and goal setting to help keep us motivated. We are also focusing on
answering word problems by finding the key information.
