Hi Carrum students and families!

Welcome back everyone! It’s your school captains Ivy and James, we can’t believe this year has gone by so fast! It’s only a few more weeks until our year sixes graduate and go into high school. We have had a few exciting and fun things happening recently. 

Our teachers would like to congratulate the lovely Miss Anderson, now Mrs Blane who was married last weekend.
She teaches our 3/4 class and takes students for tutoring.
      

Last week was our Colour Fun Run which was really cool to see everyone getting all coloured and having so much fun. We managed to raise over $32,000 and got to slime more teachers AND our principal!! Good job and a big thank you to everyone who donated!

We asked a few people in the yard what they enjoyed about the Fun Run.

“I enjoyed spraying people!” - Lizzy (1 / 2) 

“I liked having fun with my friends.” - Jack (3 / 4)

“I liked getting prizes!” - Meila (5 / 6)

 

This week, the 3/4s are starting bike-ed! It’s really important to be safe on our bikes so please be careful when we are riding to, and from school. In a few weeks, the year sixes are going on the annual year six bike ride to Chelsea Bicentennial Park! 

 

For the past couple of weeks, we have been having our Up Day! It’s been really exciting and nerve-wracking but it’s been fun! During Up Day, our year fives have presented their leadership speeches for next year. Good luck and good job to all!

 

Some of our year fours are running for marine ambassador this week! Good luck to everyone! 

 

We have one of our Junior School Council representatives writing a little something about a visit from Sonya Kilkenny! Thank you Eden! 

 

“Hi, I'm Eden and I'm here to talk to you all about Sonya Kilkenny's recent visit to the 5/6s. We are doing inquiry and our topic is Taking Action. I went around the yard and asked some year fives and year sixes about what they thought about it. Maliyah and Summer thought it was "Inspiring", Evelyn B thought it was “Interesting” and “Nice that Sonya cares about us’’. Shapi thought it was “Good”  and Lily A thought it was "Educational''

Thank you! From Eden.

Have a great weekend

 

From your school Captains,

Ivy and James.

What a week in year 1 / 2 

This week in Reading we have been learning to skip words and come back to re read the whole sentence, recognise digraphs and trigrpahs in our books and devling into narratives to support our writing.

In Writing we have been working on planning our narratives and coming up with super sizzling starts, discussing that not all stories start with 'once upon a time' developing our characters and setting. 

In spelling as well as revising our sounds we are learning G and C make a soft sound when followed by E, I or Y. G makes a /j/ sound - gym C makes the /s/ sound - circle.

We are learning the rule with /ly/ Rule → For most words just add -ly, except for words that end in /y/ - change the y to an i easy - easily. Words that end in /le/ - change to /ly/ gentle - gently.
How talented are out students learnning these spelling rules


We have been inquiring into communities and researching our local community and designing in Steam as well as in our classrooms.

In Maths we are working on our subtraction skills solving problems, using our understanding of part-part whole. Learning new games and using concrete materials to support our development. All whilst extending our knowledge and using what we have already learned in addition.
