Wow, what a busy two weeks it has been!!

Jolly Grammar –  We have looked at ear and ey sounds. We have used conjunctions to make our sentences longer eg using words like and, so while and because. We have also looked at making words that end with a y into plurals. See if your child can explain when ies is used compared to just adding an s.

Spelling – The sun was shining on Thursday so we did our partner spelling tests outside. Your child should have a list of sight words in their diary to learn to spell.

Writing – We are still looking at Persuasive writing. We have been learning about the language of opinion, sequencing and cause and effect. Mr Bennallack came in on Wednesday and watched us have a go at writing our first independent persuasive writing. Our topic has “everyone should eat vegetables”. We did a great job! Mr B was impressed!! Some of us typed up our Persuasive writing and Mr B has hung them in his office.

Maths –  We have continued looking at measurement, with the focus on capacity and are this week. Check out our photos in the blog. We enjoyed a capacity lesson in the sandpit last week.

Digital Technology – Working with room 1, we talked about algorithms and tried to write a procedure for brushing our teeth. After watching a funny you tube clip, about exact instructions, we had a second go at writing our procedure with more specific, sequential steps.

Science, Health and Book Week photos have been placed on the blog over the past two weeks. We hope that you are enjoying the photos. Thanks to those people who have been adding comments. We love reading them J

To all our dads and grandads in room 12, we hope that your family spoils you on Sunday. We had another great turnout to our Father’s Breakfast.
