Some students were interviewed and asked, ‘What have you been learning?’

Grade 1

“We have been learning about adding tens and counting back.

We have been writing stories about a creepy sheep.

We have been learning rainbow sounds – there’s two different sounds that go together and you can put them in the same colour or a different colour.”

Grade 2

We have started to do automatic response.

We have been going onto the computers to learn about different countries. That’s our new inquiry. There’s all different continents and seas around them. We used to be all connected, but they all moved because of earthquakes.

We have been doing Rocket Writing. Its writing whatever we want. We get to share our writing. We also wrote fairy tales.

In spelling we have groups and words that we have to investigate. We see how many vowels and consonants there are in it.”
