Term 3 topic focus is 'There's no I in Team'
During this topic we will have the chance to explore other cultures (Samoa for Room 16), look at our roles and responsibilities, what it means to be part of and work as a team, designing, and develop a sense of belonging and what it looks like.
This is an exciting topic that will have many different learning opportunities! We will post our learning as we move through the topic.
Term 2 topic focus is Mini-Beasts.
We will be looking at bugs of all kinds and see how they survive, what they need to survive and their circle of life.
Later this term we will turn our focus to plants and their similar patterns of life.
Week 1-Living and non-living
Ask you child if they can tell you at least 2 living and 2 non-living things
Week 2- What I need to survive
We have sorted things into needs for surviving and things we don't need. See if your child can tell tell you 3 things we NEED to survive and 2 things we do not NEED
Week 3- sorting and classifying
Today we learnt about sorting. We started by sorting sets in to many different groups- colour, size, shape, living/ non-living etc.
Here are some photos of us sorting...
Weeks 4 and 5- life cycles
we have been pasting animals in the correct order from eggs/ babies- growing into adults. The growth and change is significant to living things compared to non living.
Weeks 10 and 11- plants
as we are learning about living things we are learning about a plants similarities to animals in the way it grows and reproduces.
Week 5 and 6- life cycles
Today we looked at what a life cycle is. We watched a youtube clip on a ladybirds life cycle. Then we cut a pasted to make our own.

| We wrote the title so you know what animal the life cycle was about. We know that titles give the reader a little clue. |
