This week will be very busy! We are continuing to learn our sounds and tricky words. We are trying hard to use this knowledge to help us in reading groups. KN will be performing at assembly this week. We would love for everyone to come along. Have a great week (

1B – Miss Budd

Last week we had lots of fun learning about how vets help us. We can’t wait to see who will be visiting us next.

Week 3 will be full of exciting learning. In English we are starting our reading groups again and in maths we will be continuing to improve our addition skills.

1O – Miss Oxley

Last week was a very busy week. In literacy groups, we looked at things we can read and how we use them e.g a recipe. In maths we have been enjoying exercising our brain by doing mentals daily. On Friday, Miss Budd’s class joined us for a fun afternoon of arts and crafts. Keep Smiling!

2B – Miss Bartley

Last week in science we looked at what our skin does for the body. We discovered that it protects our organs inside our bodies, keeps our body at a good temperature and is waterproof, so we can take a bath without soaking up the water!

Cheers Miss B

2D – Miss Dorrington

Last week we have been learning about the skeleton and our skin. We found out that the skin protects our body. We learnt that narratives have several sections and descriptive language helps the reader imagine the story. The students had a great time watching the teams play at the football.

Cheers Miss D

2H – Mrs Hardy

Welcome to week 3! Last week we learnt that there are 206 bones in our body. We have all so learnt about different types of angles and working hard on addition. We are excited about the Cross Country on Friday. Remember to wear suitable shoes, a hat and bring a water bottle. Have fun! Miss Hardy :)

We had a great time last week, particularly at the Outback Challenge on Thursday! Congratulations to all the players and helpers on the day. In maths we looked at the area of triangles in maths and did a detailed reading on the location of Australian rainforests in literacy.( Miss Thomson

3W – Miss Wilson

Last week 3W had a great time at the Outback Challenge with 9 students playing and helping on the day. We completed a note taking activity in Reading to Learn and learnt how to find the area of triangles in Maths.

It was very busy last week! We enjoyed the Outback Challenge with lots of our students playing or assisting on the day – well done to everyone!
