EY2 News

We have had a busy term so far.  Our class has been establishing routines to complete academic work tasks and Positive Behaviour for Learning processes.

Morning Balanced Literacy Block including -  Letters and Words of the Week, Independent Writing, Sign-In, Morning Message, and Book of the Week - is well under way. 

In Maths, we have been investigating number and measurement.  Students are particularly interested in using real-life tools such as Kitchen scales, balance scales, rulers, tape measures.  Playdough is also popular during this session as we learn about longer/shorter, bigger/smaller and use the scales for heavier.  This learning area is also incorporated into our Outdoor Learning sessions which involve water and sand play. 

Science is learning about Materials and their Properties.  Doing a scavenger hunt around the school to find these items is fun.  We then take these photos back to the classroom, where students can sort these accordingly.

In Health, we are learning about keeping our bodies safe and how we grow

Gym work obstacle course is also fun as we include maths, language and health into one session.

Horseriding has been a great lesson also.  It is amazing to see how the students interact with their horse.  It is totally transforming as the students become so engaged in what they are doing.  We are very lucky to be able to be involved in such a wonderful experience.

Overall a great start,

EY2 students, Megan, Jordan and Jasmine.
