Updates
Literacy:
We celebrated Roald Dahl day and students were treated to their teachers dressing up as a character from the Roald Dahl novel being read in class. Grade Two’s novel is ‘George’s Marvelous Medicine’.
Students carried out a STAR Reading test.
Phonics – Students continue to learn about CVC words. Students identified words with CVC patten, practiced spelling them and a part of Grammar using them to make simple sentences.
Grammar – Students continue to learn about ‘The Sentence’; identifying the two parts of a sentence and making their own simple sentences, ensuring their sentences have a naming part and an action part.
Comprehension – Students continue to develope the technique of listening and reading to locate information and putting events from stories in correct order. This integrated into Bible, as this week bible activities included students listening to the story readings and locating information to respond to questions and sequencing events correctly.
Writing – This week continued learning how to organize information to order writing correctly. They used the process of elimination to select a topic, use their graphic aid to plan their writing and then wrote two paragraphs (including introduction and supporting details).
