YEAR 2-3

Over the last two weeks, we have finished our narrative writing. Everyone did a fabulous job at editing their writing and using rich adjectives to add detail. Next, we will be practising compound sentences to level up our writing and provide lots of information to the reader.    

In maths, we have been practising our problem-solving skills in place value, using a list to record all the possible solutions to a problem. This took some perseverance and gave our maths brain a workout!

The highlight of our fortnight was visiting the Marine Discovery Centre at Woodbridge on Friday the 30th of May. First, we spent some time in the Marine Classroom, looking at seawater through microscopes, creating dioramas of sea habitats and discussing food webs. Then it was time for us to complete the sea creature scavenger hunt and feed the animals in the viewing pool. We finished our day in the Touch Tank Room, where we were able to hold starfish, crabs and sea cucumbers. It was an amazing experience and an excellent way to bring our science learning to life.
