In Term 4, Stage 2 is lucky enough to be working with a professional author in Term 4 once a week with the company WestWords

The project will be running for the first 5 weeks of the term and has already started off with a bang! The students are working hard on the way they craft stories, different features of texts, and getting feedback from a professional author. In the weeks to come, they will also have an opportunity to be working alongside a professional Illustrator. We look forward to seeing the student’s creative writing develop and to the students’ turning into authors.

    πŸ’™πŸ§‘πŸ’œ Term 3 Learning Highlights πŸ’™πŸ§‘πŸ’œ Stage 2 learning highlights in Term 3 included a wonderful day at the Australian Museum. The students were able to view many of the exhibits and were especially interested to see the 'Minerals' exhibit with many different gems and rocks on display. The students also loved exploring the 'Dinosaur' exhibit and were amazed at how giant the prehistoric creatures were that roamed the earth many years ago. In the 'Wild Planet' exhibit, the museum staff talked with the students all about animals and their specific features, using hands on resources such as the preserved skin of an emu's leg, the shell of a turtle, a spike from an echidna and a giant feather from a bird. The students all really enjoyed seeing and touching the features. We look forward to more amazing Stage 2 learning in Term 4!

    πŸ’œπŸ’™πŸ§‘ Term 3 Learning Highlights πŸ’œπŸ’™πŸ§‘ Year 2 learning highlights in Term 3 included some English, History and Science. In History and English, Year 2 combined their reading and writing using the text 'My Place' by Nadia Wheatley. They completed a project where they needed to draft, edit and publish their own version of my place for their context. In Science, they also enjoyed designing and creating rockets out of recycled materials for their 'Earth and Space' unit. We look forward to more amazing Year 2 learning in Term 4!
