Grade 2/3 have been doing some excellent work in the last two weeks of Term 2! We enjoyed the visit from Terrapin Puppet Theatre in Week 9 and some of us have engaged with cooking experiences after earning 50 Frankies!

In English, we have been focussed on developing our knowledge of spelling patterns at the ends of words. We have explored word families through our UFLI program and created word sliders to help us visualise these patterns.

Plus, you should see our persuasive texts! We have spent lots of time analysing the structure of successful persuasive texts, pulling apart strong opinion phrases and investigating persuasive devices. Now we are certain we have some convincing arguments! We will share these early in Term 3!

It has been amazing to see our mathematical skills developing as we practice using a number line to solve addition and subtraction problems. Our confidence using this strategy has grown enormously! Some of us have also experimented with using a number line to order large numbers as we challenge ourselves with six-digit numbers!
