Week 2 and we are in full swing. Our literacy unit is about pets and links beautifully to the Science Unit called ‘Fins, furs and feathers.’ Maths will include number, shape and data collecting.

In English, we have been reading text about a range of animals. The current book we are reading is about a bent-winged bat called, ‘Warambi.’ She gets separated from her colony and hides in an old house. This week, we have constructed a book about possible places Warambi can hide.

JS1 students will continue their individual number goals to increase their knowledge and have begun to explore 2D shapes. We are enjoying using rulers to draw more accurately. You may like to look for the shapes; square, triangle, rectangle and circle at home as they can be found in many places.

In Science, we will define animals and plants. We will also be investigating life cycles, especially of native local animals and plants.

We also welcome Ms Karen (teacher aide) to our room. Mr Tony has moved to another class. Already Ms Karen has become a ‘part of the furniture.’

Take care and stay safe,

Karen, Bree, Debbie and Deb.
