Soaring through MP2 in leaps and bounds!

Welcome to Ms Narissa’s MP2 class! What a great start to our new school year.
We welcomed three new students to the school: Sarah from Egypt and France, Lucia from Sweden and Rafa from Australia.
We are only in our 4^th week of school and it already feels like our little class is family.

We started off our year by talking about our class expectations and how we could reflect our Personal Goal  -RESPECT – in our classroom.
We also had a great time at the Primary Fun day getting to know each other and playing games in the park.

MP2 together with MP1 have been learning how to become more independent learners with their new literacy framework the ‘Daily 5’.
They can now Read to Self and add to their word collectors, Read to Someone and check for understanding and can write a ‘Think about’ to help them organise their ideas before Working on Writing. This week they will be learning about Word Work and later how to become better readers and writers by Listening to Reading.

In the last week both Year 3 and Year 4 have been working on their times tables in Numeracy and are all making great progress.

Our IPC unit ‘The Generation Game’ has been a lot of fun! Sharing our ideas of what ‘old’ and ‘young’ is has been interesting. We looked at and compared paintings of childhood and then created our own versions of our childhood using paint or pastels. What a creative lot we have in MP!

We are now studying what childhood was like in the Victorian Era and reading ‘Oliver’ together with Ms Rebecca’s class.
Next step, what does it feel like to be elderly and how best can we care for the elderly?

We’re looking forward to what the next few weeks hold!
