Welcome to another wonderful week in 1EJ and 1KS. We had a very busy and exciting week with Mr White visiting to look at our lanterns, the moon lantern festival assembly and working with a guest speaker to learn and investigate cultural artefacts.

 

Congratulations to Monairene for reading 125 nights and Wing for reading 25 nights!

We were lucky enough to be able to attend a cultural artefacts workshop held by Iteka. Iteka is an Ajdnyamathanha Narungga and Wangkangurru Tarluyandi artist who brought in a variety of traditional Aboriginal artefacts to share with the children.

 

 

 

In Literacy, we continued exploring blends. This week our focus was blends that are present at the end of words. We learn’t nk, ct, mp and the sight word made‘.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In Maths, we have continued exploring all things length. The children have measured objects, compared their lengths and ordered them from shortest to longest or longest to shortest. We have also been practicing using mathematical vocabulary to describe the length of objects. This sounds like using words like; short, shorter, shortest, shorter than and long, longer, longest, longer than.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In Religion, we have been looking at how everyone is ‘made in the image of God’. The children were asked to reflect on their own family and how they are created by their parents however, are also made in the image to be like God and Jesus.

 

In Science, We planted ‘Snow Pea and Broad Bean Seeds’. The children had used their previously learnt knowledge of the needs of a plant, parts of a plant and how to plant a seed to support their planting.
