Welcome back to Term 2!

Welcome back to term two 1T! We've got an exciting term in store! We began with reading groups straight off on our first day back! We hit the ground running and I must thank Dee for being ready to listen to our lovely students read on that first day back. We also had assembly on Wednesday and some of us got to stand on the stage to help all of kindergarten, year 1 and 2 sing along to 'Going to the Zoo' and doing the actions. We did a fabulous job!

 

We even had number groups on our first day back! My number group practiced our numbers before and after, played a game where you needed to find the answers to some doubles and we also had to add on to 20 rolling a dice using a number line. We were so busy learning that the time just flew by!

On Friday we did some rotating literacy activities looking at the long 'a' sound, nouns, using our whisper phones to read to ourselves and writing for our 'Wow Wall'. I must say a big thank you to both Samuel and Xavier's families who have made some more whisper phones so that we now have enough for everybody to use one when we're reading to ourselves! Thank you!

 

We then had our computer lesson using google classroom where we learnt how to change font colour, size and style before we learnt how to insert a picture into our slide. 

 

We ended our week with an amazing SISA lesson! We're learning our fundamental movement skills with some amazing equipment. Check it out!

 

Consonant Blends

We all got into our Google Classroom today! What an achievement! Once in there we had a link to click on with our mouse and then we got to play a game from ABCYa called 'consonant blends'. Check it out below!

Friday - the best day ever!

So today I heard, 'It's the best day ever!' I'm guessing it might have had something to do with our first session on the computer! We went to the computer room and although it took us a little while to log in to the computer, we all managed to play on Matific (our new trial maths website). 

 

Next week Mrs Taylor is going to take us to our Google Classroom! We'll need to log in to the computer, open chrome, log in to our student portal, go to our learning tools, click on 'Google Suite' and then our Google Classroom. The first time we go there we'll need a class code, but after that we'll be able to log straight in. Last year we did it with Mrs Taylor when she was teaching us computers. It's going to be so much fun learning new ways of using technology while we're also learning about our other subjects.
