Music Work Package

Hi Everyone

I hope we are all going well with the Week 9 Work Packages. I can see most of us are using our Studyladder accounts, which is fantastic to see!

Mr Honey has uploaded the Music Work Package to his class blog for this week. You can access it through the Music blog and then through the Work Packages link on the page.

Thank you,

Mrs Fitzpatrick

From the Teacher Term 1 Week 8

From the Teacher

I would firstly like to say that I hope everyone is keeping well at this time that we are all getting through together. Some strategies put into place in regards to the Covid19 for Room 19:

• Student desks and chairs disinfected throughout the day
• Conducting ongoing explicit teaching of hand washing and hygiene
• Hand washing before Recess and Lunch
• Social distancing as much as possible in our classroom. Students are now sitting 2 or 3 to a group and sitting arms-length away from one another when sitting on the mat
• Encouraging all students to not touch their face with their hands or get close to other students during class and play time

The Minister of Education has announced the website:  

https://www.education.wa.edu.au/learning-at-home for parents to use if they are keeping their children at home.

Now for some positives, which I think we all need at this time!

What’s been happening in Room 19…

We have had plenty of exciting learning opportunities this term! It has been so fantastic to see everyone improving as each week passes by. I have noticed a significant improvement in our social skills, handwriting, spelling, Mental Maths and Reading. Well done and keep up the excellent work!

3D Nets

The students had to cut and glue together nets of shapes to create their 3D object.

Making Halves and Quarters of Shapes

We learnt how to write the fractions ‘half’ and 'quarter' and to represent it with pictures.

Verb Hunt!

Students chose a book that they have been reading to find as many verbs as they could in the text. Harder than we thought!

Science- Properties of Materials

We went on an exploration around the Year 2 playground to find different materials that the playground is made from. We discussed why certain materials are used over others.

Goal Setting

We have our goals for Term 1 on display in the classroom and have been tracking them throughout Term 1.

Our last assembly was cancelled to due to social distancing, however, Room 19 received their well-deserved Music Award from Mr Honey!

Mr Honey commented: Room 19 have been working tremendously hard when rehearsing and performing their song ‘Terracotta Pot’! Well done!

Merit Certificates:

Congratulations to Holly and Sarah for earning a Merit Certificate! You have both shown excellent attitudes and progress. Amazing efforts!

Thank you all for taking time to read our blog. I will keep you updated on any updates received.

Kind regards

From the Teacher Week 4 Term 1

From the Teacher

The first few weeks of Term One have been fantastic in Room 19! It has been so pleasing to see all students settling into our class routines so quickly. I have been extremely pleased with the students’ manners and willingness to learn. The effort each and every student has put into their learning so far has been amazing to see! Here are some photos of our class in action.

Place value fun!

Reminders

• Library is on Thursdays. Please make sure you return your books to be changed or renewed.
• Homework is marked and given out every Monday. There is no need to bring your folder/book to class every day, however, it is a great idea to keep it in your school bag so you don’t forget it every Monday.
• Room 19 has a Sport incursion based on cricket skills. Please be sure to return the permission slip. No payment is needed.
• Early close is at 2.30pm every Tuesday.

Room 19 and 21's Assembly

We started the year off with hosting the first Junior Assembly in Week 3 with a theme on ‘Australia’. It was fantastic to see all the students making an effort to dress up in Australia-themed colours. Room 19 and 21 did a fantastic job at presenting the assembly. Everyone enjoyed the songs and all students spoke their lines clearly. Miss Lamb and I were so impressed with our classroom’s efforts! Big congratulations to all of Room 19 and 21!
