Welcome to a look at Week 7.

In literacy, we explored the concept of compound words and how to use them in sentences. We also looked at nouns and gave examples of people, places and things.

In Writers Workshop, the students finished their first information book about thier chosen animal from the Mudla. Students proudly shared their books with a peer who wrote about a different animal, giving each other feedback and learning new facts along the way.

In Maths, students explored subtraction. They learnt that the operation of subtraction means taking away some things from a group to find out how many are left.We practiced strategies such as using our fingers, crossing out objects, and using concrete materials to solve subtraction problems within 0–20.

SANFL Clinic
This week marked the first week of our 4-week AFL clinic at school. The children really enjoyed learning new skills and playing football with their peers. Take a look at the fun we had!
Reminder: Every Wednesday, children can wear their PE uniform.

In Science, students observed the growth of their bean plants and learned about the stages of plant development—from seed to mature plant. They drew their plants, described their current stage, and reflected on what the plant needs to grow strong and healthy. Students were given their plants to take home with a care note. We encourage families to support this ongoing project so students can continue watching their plants grow and eventually enjoy the beans they produce!

In HASS, we continuing exploring how life has changed from the past to the present. Students practiced identifying and showing the differences between the two time periods using drawings and words. Students also worked on explaining what life was like in the past compared to how it is now, building their awareness of history and change over time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

In Art, students explored different types of shapes—both geometric and organic. Using these shapes, they created their own “shape creatures” by drawing and coloring.

 

Congratulations to Sonny for reading 25 nights!
