From the Teacher

Mathematics

Room 19 have worked very hard during these past few weeks in their Mathematics learning. We conduct Maths rotations where students are given time to use the skills taught independently and in groups. It has been great to see everyone enjoying learning making strides each day. Don’t forget that students can access Studyladder for Maths and Literacy activities during the holidays!

Mammal Report

All Year 2 classes have been busy researching and collecting information on a chosen mammal. We used the internet and books from the school library to find this information. Room 19 created posters to display their research and are currently working on creating PowerPoint presentations on the computers.

Merit Certificate Winners

Although there have been no school assemblies, students have still been rewarded for their excellent work and behaviour. Congratulations to Merit Award winners middle of the term: Jonah, Anaya and Ayana. End of term winners: Imani, Liam and Jaxon. Congratulations to you all for your outstanding work ethic and behaviour. Keep up the great work!

Science with Mr Sanderson

Room 19 were very lucky to have Science-wizard, Mr Sanderson come in for a Science lesson! Mr Sanderson spoke about push and pull movements and even showed us how people are conductors of electricity! We used catapults to flick pom-poms as far as we could, which required a pushing motion in order for it to work. Room 19 are now exploring how far they can make their pom-pom travel by angling their catapults in different ways. Thanks for the fun afternoon, Mr Sanderson!

Term Holiday Break

It has been a very busy term and I'm sure you will all enjoy your holidays! Some things you might like to do during the break (so you don't forget everything we have learned!) are: 

• Studyladder activities
• Typing Club
• Put your spelling words into sentences
• Read over your sight words
• Recite your times tables
• Help your parents at the shops when counting money
• Use a computer to research facts about a topic and create a PowerPoint presentation on it
• Write a diary of what you do each day of the holidays

Most of all, stay healthy and safe, and I will see you all back next term!
