This week in 2 Navy:

Workshops

In reading and writing workshops we are focusing on our reading strategies and questioning and inferencing skills. Daily we are completing writing tasks to build our writing stamina with flash writing.  We are following a writing process this term to create Information Reports.  This week the children are working on an Information Report on the RSL. We will use our high 5 hand to check our sentences.  Our shared text this week was a poem about Poppies by an unknown author. Ask your child where the Poppies grow? Our grammar focus was verbs.  In Maths we are continuing daily number sense, number patterns and we explored fractions.

Religion

We have started to explore what a covenant is.  We are learning about the Bible and in particular the stories we find in the Old Testament.  This week we explored the Old Testament Story of Noah's Ark, found in the book of Genesis.

Unit Work

Planning for our monuments is underway!  Students have been put into groups and are working on their team work skills!

Donations

As described in our homework book, the children will be designing and creating a ANZAC Monument this term.  Can I please request that throughout the term you send in cardboard boxes, rolls, and any other craft equipment that we will be able to use to construct our Monuments. 

Thank you for your support.
