This week we celebrated the Mid Autumn Festival. On Monday Mr White came to judge our lanterns.

The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival or Mooncake Festival, is a harvest festival. During the festival, lanterns of all size and shapes  are carried and displayed. Lanterns symbolise beacons that light people’s path to prosperity and good fortune. Mooncakes, a rich pastry typically filled with sweet-bean, egg yolk, meat or lotus-seed paste, are traditionally eaten during this festival.

During Word Study we began learning about suffixes. A suffix is a word of part of a word that is placed at the end of another word to change its meaning. We also learnt how singular nouns can become plural by adding s, es or ies.

Check out the amazing book work below. Adding clear headings and titles to our learning is a skill that will be needed in Year 2, so we are starting now!
