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!

We're learning about letters that make one sound. They're called digraphs. Sh, ch, th and wh are digraphs. The silly title of this post uses all the digraphs we are learning. We practiced writing words with these digraphs. Mrs Taylor gave each word with the digraph correctly written a point and each word spelled correctly a point. The 'sh' words won last week too. We know more 'sh' words than the other consonant digraphs like 'ch', 'wh' or 'th'. Although 'th' words are a close second. 

Have a look at this song about our consonant digraphs.
