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 began 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. Our grammar focus was proper nouns.  In Maths we are continuing daily number fact practice, number patterns and we explored the connection between addition and subtraction.

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 the 10 Commandments, found in the book of Exodus.

Unit Work

This week we had a wonderful excursion to the RSL.  The children explored many wonderful sections of the RSL.  They visited the sub branch, the men shed and the memorial gardens.  They connected with their inquiry questions and were able to add to their notes.

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.
