Celebrations of Learning

Prep

Prep F and Prep C have been busy learning how to add small collections together using a range strategies including – addition machines, blocks and some themed activity sheets. The most fun was had with the addition machines as they used large tweezers to pick up two different coloured pom poms to make the collections. They also enjoyed using a matching-coloured marker to write down their number sentences. 

We have also practised working backwards with subtraction and used our cubes and number sentence cards to work out the remaining amount when some are removed from a total. 

We also started learning about sharing equally and practised our cutting skills to top pizzas with equal amounts of toppings. Pepperoni, mushroom and olives…Yum! 

We have continued to work on writing what we like or dislike about fairytales and have been encouraging students to Sparkle it Up!!!!! 

Year 1

Over the next few weeks, 1/2B we will be focusing our math learning on Australian money, addition and subtraction word problems, division and time. We have enjoyed creating a little shop/Cafe in the classroom where students can role play different roles to practise their math skills as they order items, add up amounts and give change with hands on money. This also incorporates literacy to read the menu, prices and write orders in the notebook.  

I have loved watching students collaborate, communicate respectfully and play while they learn in this new area!  

Year 2

It’s been a busy week for 2H. This week Mrs Walsh came to visit us to help us make our Bump it up wall for our classroom. She taught us to look for Tickled Pink, things that we are doing well and Green for Growth, things that we could improve. We had a VIP writer who wrote a persuasive letter to his parents.  We looked for tickled pink and green for growth in his letter.  The class gave feedback to our writer on how to ‘bump it up’. We have also been learning about money and time and reading every day.
