 Welcome to week 1/2's blog spot for year 1/2

First up is a celebration of students doing their work and being awarded certificates for those efforts.
Tone. Bowon and Euro were awarded Study Ladder certificates this week for their work about subtraction. 
Well done boys!!!




The Big Pencil Award
A new idea is the awarding of the BIG PENCIL 
At the end of the day the student, who the other class members think has tried their best throughout the learning day, will be given this award to take home and return he next day. The children are asked to consider who has been a good friend and has been helpful to any adults around the school. 
The children in the class will nominate the candidates and then we will vote on who will receive the award each day!
The first and second BIG PENCIL winners, as voted by his classmates, are Luffy and Natasha. Well done to you both for all your efforts on Thursday and Friday.








English
We are learning how to write the beginnings of stories. We looked at the picture and tried to describe what we saw using interesting adjectives. Then following the "5 W's" to create the start of a story.


               



Maths 
We are still investigating different ways of making subtraction easy. Next week we will Show that multiplication of two numbers can be done in any order and division of one number by another cannot.





P.E.
P.E. is always a fun time at school. Next Tuesday we will be having some extra fun because we will be incorporating our Unit of Inquiry learning into the PE lesson. 
We had been learning about forces and during the PE lesson we will enjoy using a 'Slip and Slide," which takes away the force of friction, so we can sliding on the plastic surface,











Preparing for our Student Led Conferences
Very soon the learners will be talking to you about their learning. They will be walking you through their awesome portfolios and showing off what they have done and telling you about what they know and understand.





Spelling
We were investigating spelling rules in preparation for our weekly Friday spelling quiz.



Digital Citizenship
Mr. Mark came to talk to us about how we should behave online when we are left to work by ourselves. 












Birthday Celebrations
Last week we celebrated Natasha's birthday and today we celebrated Spy's birthday.








I.C.E. - What did we learn from our Assembly

Fire Drill
We had an informative, interesting and awesome morning finding out what we should do if we ever have to help to put out a fire. 
Some of our class were risk takers and volunteered to help the fire fighters with the activities. 
Well done to those children for being brave.

 TEAM WORK This week and next week we are focusing on how a great team works together. Such as how we can do things to help each other and what a great team says to each other in ways of encouragement.  Last week we tried to build tall towers. This week our tall towers were built after we had our chat about what makes a team.  I am happy to tell you that we have started to help each other and work together and talk positively together. Maths   We are learning about tens and ones and what each digit means in a number. Miss Emmi's group are also investigating digits and what they mean when we see them.  English We are starting to experiment with letter names and sounds. We are starting to find ways with computers to learn our letter names and sounds.

We are now aware of the reasons we try to eat healthy food....

Here are some works we are proud of from last term.
