I hope all of our A2 family and friends enjoyed the show.
Children in O1 were so amazed by and wanted to tell us what they enjoyed.
Congratulations Year 2.
It was brilliant - the actors, the band, choir and narrators. How long did it take to get all the acting, costumes and talking right? All the costumes like the cows, bees, bulls, butterflies and the sunflower all looked real. I liked when Mr Cronin looked like a cow!
Dear Year 2’s,
Congratulations! I loved it. I really liked the singing but I liked it all. Good work.
I liked it best when all the cows and the bulls danced to the music.
Congratulations year 2’s.
Guess what my favourite part was? My favourite part was when the bulls came on stage and the background music.
Great job Year 2’s. Who would think a bunch of 6 year olds could pull off such a good show!
Congratulations year twos for achieving. You’re cool. You are really brave year 2’s.
Daisy, I thought you were a good actor because you are an amazing cow. You were black and white.
I liked the lovely sun flower with green leaves too.
Dear Year 2’s
Congratulations for achieving a big goal and for stepping up and acting and singing and all the other stuff.
To Year 2 girls and boys and teachers, that was so so good. My favourite performance ever bro.
To year 2 - that show was great. My favourite part was when you sang ‘Good morning’.
This week is Maths Week!! We are taking part in the Survivor Series daily problem solving tasks (so we can find the treasure on Friday) and will also be putting our estimation skills to work. Whoever has the right (or closest to) daily estimate gets to go in the whole school draw to win a neat prize. Ask your child about their clues they have so far or the estimate they made.
In maths this week we will also be looking at multiplication and will be linking this what we already know. For example, 3x5 can be solved by skip counting 5,10, 15 or by repeating addition 5+5+5.
Writing
This term we are focusing on narrative writing. We will be looking at what authors include in their stories (characters, setting, problem & solution) and zoom in on each area. This week we are focusing on describing characters physical appearance & character traits in our writing.
Reading
We are linking our reading with our writing focus by identifying the characters, setting, problem and solution in our readers. Ask your child about the story elements in their book.
Inquiry
Our Inquiry focus for the term is Movement. We are looking at why people move and how, what houses looked like in the past, now and around the world. This week, we're looking into our own movement - who has moved house, towns or country and what our houses look like, how old they might be and what they're made of.
