Welcome back to Term 2!
In Literacy we have started our Guided Reading groups. We have learnt how to be independant workers and have developed the skills to make text to self connections. We have also been learning about nouns, verbs and adjectives. We have created posters of Nelly Noun, Viren Verb and Adam Adjective to help us remember the different types of words.
We have also begun investigating the differences between fiction and non fiction texts. We have learnt that a fiction text is a made up story and that a non fiction texts teaches us something and provides us with information about a topic. We are currently writing our own fiction texts. We have just finished our story maps and are about the begin writing our drafts. We will keep you updated on the progress of our stories!
In Numeracy we have been learning about odd and even numbers. With Miss Dengate we made odd and even street to help us learn the difference between the numbers. We have learnt that odd numbers end in a 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and that even numbers end in a 0, 2, 4, 6, 8. If you look closely all the houses on even street are symmetrical and even whereas the houses on odd street are all wonky and crooked.
A reminder to all parents that doors open at 8.35am. As stated in the classroom policy it would be greatly appreciated if all children can please come to class when the first siren goes. This time allows the children to prepare themselves for the day ahead and settle into classroom routine and complete their written morning task.
I would also like to remind parents that Term 2 parent roster is outside our class every morning. Please put your name down to help with our homework folders. If we have no parent helpers then our homework folders will not get signed and our books changed.
Thank you
Miss Russell
