The 1/2s have been busy in Term 4! In Mathematics, we have been learning about time. We have made analog clocks to help our understanding of reading times, including ‘o’clock, half past, quarter past, and quarter to’. 

In our writing lessons, we have been exploring persuasive writing. The purpose of persuasive texts is to make somebody change their mind or opinion, as well as do what you want them to do. Some of our topics in writing so far have been: 

Is reading books better than TV?

Do animals belong in cages? 

Our topic for Inquiry is ‘Through the Generations’, and this week we have been exploring the past. We have been reading lots of different texts about the past including - ‘Papa and the olden days’, ‘My Grandmother’s Toy box’ and also an information text titled ‘Technology - Then and Now’. (see photos) 

The 1/2s can’t wait for the excursion to Coal Creek next week to continue their learning about the olden days!
