This is some of what we will be learning this term in Room 11. It will be another busy term!
Our school wide concept is: 'Express Yourself'
We will be exploring :
How we can express ourselves in positive ways through the arts (dance, drama, music and visual art). The Year 2 classes will be rotating through the various rooms to explore these different aspects. We will also be learning Folk Dancing on Mondays and Tuesdays. In Week 9 there will be an Arts Festival Week where you can view our Folk Dancing and various art expressions. More details to follow later.
Writing:
In writing we will be looking at 3 point plans (to help us start paragraphing), alliteration, simile and metaphor. We will also continue to use powerful verbs, adjectives, adverbs, onomatopoeia, dialogue and staccato sentences. These skills are reinforced through our personal recounts and cameo writing. In Transactional Writing we will focus on writing instructions.
Mathematics:
Number: addition and subtraction, number knowledge, basic facts (Weeks 1-8)
Students who are stage 4 and above will complete 2 weeks of multiplication and division also.
Measurement: length and area (Weeks 9-10)
