READING

In our grade we read everyday. We practice our Silent Reading every morning for 15 minutes. We also read a picture story book,view an animated book, read a big book or an article .We are usually reading a serial story as well. We have read  Flat Stanley, The Story of Imelda Who was Small and we are now reading The 27th Annual Hippopotamus Race by Maurice Laurrie.

It is very important to read good fit books that are just right to read.

When we read we practise our READING STRATEGIES.It is wonderful to see the students so eager to read. Some even have stacks of books on their desks!!!!!!

Here is some of the work we did after reading!!!

WE MADE OUR OWN PYTHON FOR BOOKWEEK AFTER READING PYTHON ONE OF THE SHORTLISTED BOOKS.

We drew our own Flat Stanleys.

Our Inquiry topic this term is SPACE.

We have been reading all about Our Universe, galaxies, Solar System and how  the moon orbits Earth.

Check out our Planet Reports.

The start of term 4 has been very busy.

We have had a Hockey Clinic. Our F.E.A.S.T performance and Grade 3 went on camp.

Today we have a visit from Little Aths.

Read some comments from the students on these activities.

This term we are investigating Fairy Tales. We have read and watched many different versions of popular Fairy Tales and have been discussing the morals and values integral to each.

Today we began writing our own version of a Fairy Tale. See the students hard at work on their drafts.

The children loved having a four week cricket clinic.

They leanrned lots of new skills

Welcome back to term 2 and welcome to our two new students – Olivia and Hope :).

We have had a very busy first term.

The grade 3 children have been involved in  senior sport and assemblies and fitness.

The grade 2 children work with the rest of the grade 2’s on Fridays doing great language activities.

We have been doing our walking and running as part of fitness.

We have been using our great new IPADS to help support our learning.

Our Inquiry Unit has been all about different environments, with a focus on marine environments.

We have created a great underwater scene on the back wall showing the different areas of the ocean.

We have used the Ipads to find out all about different  sea creatures.

Our Beach excursion was a wonderful morning of discovery,with the children seeing the rockpools and looking at many creatures.

We have been reading many  wonderful stories,related to the ocean and discussing the characters,setting,actions,problems and conclusions.

We have also focussed on Non-Fiction Texts and how they differ from fiction texts.
