Hi All,

We have been very busy in P2c. We have been learning the “ea” sound this week! We have been practicing this sound through our targets. We even had a team mock spelling test, it was great fun. Miss Lyons was very pleased with our team working skills.

Numeracy this week triangles have been practicing adding with missing numbers. We worked hard with the numicon to work out the problems. Miss Lyons was very impressed with our problem solving skills. The circles have been learning all about numbers to 100, we were counting two before and two after. Finally the rectangles have been working on column addition and subtraction. We are understanding the importance of place value and labelling tens and units.

This term we have been exploring our new topic Australia. We decided to do this topic because we had been watching the news and had seen the bushfires. We have been learning all about the animals that live in Australia. We particularly loved the Koala bears. We are now exploring climate change and how we can reduce our carbon footprint. We are going to investigate why the bushfires happened.

Muddy movers was VERY muddy this week. We all had a great time! We enjoy playing in the mud and racing through the river. We are always interested about the level of the riverbed.

Five children took part in the chess competition this week. They worked very hard to win a spot in the finals! We are all very proud of them.

Thanks for reading our blog!

P2c.
