We have had a very busy term so far. In the classroom we have been focusing on narrative and persuasive writing, problem solving, and developing mental strategies to support with solving addition, subtraction, and division problems. Our class has also been learning about the First Fleet, including the reasons why the First Fleet occurred, and the people involved. Students have particularly enjoyed learning about the living conditions in England in the late 1700’s and the convicts that were sent over to Botany Bay to work or serve a sentence. We have enjoyed our gardening sessions so far getting involved in gardening, drawing, documenting, and cooking delicious meals for the class to enjoy.
