It has been a busy start to the term for 5MG! We enjoyed going to the Athletics carnival in Week 2, where we got to participate in lots of different events. In the classroom we have been completing a range of hands on mathematics activities involving whole numbers. Our new English unit for this term has been very enjoyable so far, focusing on poetry. 5MG have been experimenting with writing different poetic forms including limericks, sonnets, haikus and quatrains. We have also been very engaged when reading poems by Solli Raphael in our fluency pairs. 5MG have been focusing on prosodic reading to enhance meaning and engage an audience. Everyone is looking forward to writing and performing our own slam poems in the next few weeks. (fb)

1T have had a wonderful and busy start to Term 2. During English we have been learning about how the long /i/ and how it can be spelt with 'y' or 'igh'. We have also been working on using adjectives to make our sentences more interesting. 1T loved reading the book, Don't let the Pigeon Drive the Bus for our persuasive unit. During mathematics, we have been learning about data and how we can use tally marks to collect information. The students happily participated in their second Be Skilled Be fit sport session. (fb)
