Dear families,

It has been a busy and wonderful term in the Axolotl class, the children have made great progress in becoming involved and responsible learners. Here is a summary of our learning this week:

  • Craft with Crafty Chris
  • Reading and responding to Non-fiction texts about different animals. An inquiry into axolotls followed by non-fiction writing.
  • Visit to Lane Cove Library.
  • Visit to our local park for a play.
  • Individual reading and spelling assessments.
  • Our elders presented their GIP with Faith, and the juniors came to watch.
  • Making and eating rice paper rolls

Juniors (Early Stage 1)

  • Soundwaves: reviewing sight/ tricky words e.g. they.
  • Mathematics – describing and comparing the masses of objects using a balance scale.

Elders (Stage 1)

  • Soundwaves: oo, u.
  • Mathematics – measure, record, compare and estimate the masses of objects using uniform informal units.
  • Well done Stage 1, you presented your GIP with such confidence!
