In the past couple of weeks the 1/2 class have been exploring 2D shapes and enjoyed playing a barrier game where one person had to make a pattern and then describe it to their partner to make, without looking. The children agreed it was really important to describe the position of each shape carefully so their partner could put the shapes in the right places.

We have also been learning about money and after exploring the different coins and notes we have in Australia, we worked out different ways to make $1.00.

In Science we have been learning about sound and this week we looked at how the pitch and volume of different instruments can be changed.

Lastly, we have been really focussing on kindness this term and we had a good chat with Mrs Clay, our school counsellor, about how to be a good friend.
