for organising and attending the camp as well as Mr Schweda and Mrs Pinches for attending
to assist with supervision.

Kindy The Kindergarten children have demonstrated that they could be excellent Veterinary Surgeons in the making! They cared for our wild animals, giving them food, bandages, medicine and lots of injections. Our letter for the week has been 'G' and the children created bubble printed Goannas, beautiful Galahs and green Sheep. In numeracy the students explored their fine motor skills to create numbers, count and measure. The children thoroughly enjoyed mixing playdough and creating goo balls.
Pre-Primary In VCOP we are learning about connectives and how to improve our sentences with more detail. Our WOW words for the week are synonyms for surprised!
During our hands-on rotational activities, the children are exploring digital technologies through the use of Osmo and iPads.
In science/STEM we will be designing and building our own sailboats and testing them. Year 1 During Mathematics lessons, students have been busy solving addition and subtraction problems and identifying 'turn-around facts'.
During English in VCOP we are focusing on 'popping punctuation'. Students are striving to use a greater range of punctuation in their writing to make their work stand out. Some examples of punctuation being used includes, capital letters, full stops, commas, exclamation marks, question marks, speech marks and even ellipses!
Term Two Geography is centred upon natural, managed and constructed features of the local and wider environment. The Year One cohort have discovered the meaning of each type of feature and identified examples which can be found in the Two Rocks area.
Year 2 In Numeracy we have been looking at using the bridging strategy for adding two digit numbers. To help us with this, we are using our self talk. It’s tricky but with practise, we are getting better!
In Literacy we have been using the iPads and books to research Honey Bees. “Did you know they have 3 million hairs on their “bodies?” said Ethan and that they “...eat pollen and nectar” remarked Lilly.
We have also been learning about earthworms and are designing a ‘Worm Wee’ label to put on the bottles. Worm wee is like liquid gold! Plants love it.

What’s Happening Year 3 The Year 3’s have been learning how to write reviews and wrote a review as a whole class about Drones. Mrs Hill & Miss Mott were so impressed with the WOW words they were using and think many of them may have a future as toy critics. They have also started doing a daily writing warm up which helps them to write complex sentences. The first topic was cats and they have learned a fair few WOW words that they know the meaning of and have used in context. The Meerkats group have started their STEM projects where they have to design a 3D habitat and use all the knowledge they have learned in science to help them. Year 4 In Maths, students have been learning how to apply a formula to find the perimeter of irregular polygons and have practised converting units of length.
In Literacy, the Year 4's have been developing their use of vocabulary in their writing, and enjoying reading and responding to their novel Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson.
In HAAS, the Year 4's have been completing their research on conservation and presenting their information on colourful posters. Year 5 Literacy—Breaking News! We have been looking at the 5W1H to create an interesting news article. We were given a stimulus of an escaped lion!
In Numeracy we have been learning the different written methods to solve multiplication and division. We also had the opportunity to demonstrate our amazing Stepping Stones skills for some visiting teachers. They were very impressed with what we can do!
We had a fantastic time on camp! We visited several important and interesting places around Perth. We applied our science knowledge at Scitech, we got ‘fun’ scared at Fremantle Prison, we learnt the importance of democracy at the Constitutional Centre and we were lucky to witness a sitting in the lower house at Parliament house. Thank you to Mrs Pinches and Mr Schweda for coming along and helping us!
Year 6 In English we have been writing a procedural text about how to make a paper plane before transferring this to a flow chart using an App on the iPads. This will then be turned into a Vlog (video log) for another student to follow their instructions.
In Mathematics we have been looking at long division, always a complicated process and discussing integers and where they are placed on a number line.
Geography- we have been using the iPads to research an Asian country of our choice. We then had to complete an assignment, answering questions about our country's location, demographics and environment, as well as the political and economic climate of the country.
We have also been busy getting ready for our Winter Interschool Carnival with teams practising: netball, soccer, AFL and

Congratulations to Two Rocks Primary School for another successful campaign this year. Our students have once again demonstrated excellent sportsmanship and have been cheering one another throughout the day.
We have had multiple students place within the top 5 of all schools. Congratulations to our runner ups Keanoe G. in Year 2, Abbey D. in Year 4, Taj S. in Year 4 and to our winners Ashleigh F. in Year 2, Grayson B. in Year 4, Lachlan B. in Year 5 and Cara D. in Year 6.
Also special mention to Grayson and Cara who either matched or beat the old track records and well done to the Year 4's who became overall champion school. We are very proud of everyone who participated.
DIGI CLUB The Year 1s came to DigiClub and learned how to use Scratch Junior. They learned how to make Scratch the cat move around, add a different backdrop and add in more characters. They were superstars and had a great time.
The Year 2s had a turn at Digi Club. They got to use Scratch Junior and the Blue-Bots for the first time. It was loads of fun!
