They will be using the computer lab to publish their writing to incorporate technology in the classroom. The students will be participating in a “book club” whereby each week they borrow books from the library and they can share information and ideas from these books with other students. Mathematics MA2-1WM uses appropriate terminology to describe, and symbols to represent, mathematical ideas. MA2-2WM selects and uses appropriate mental or written strategies, or technology, to solve problems.

Geography GE 2-1 examine features and characteristics of places and environments GE 2-2 describe the ways people, places and environments interact GE 2-3 examine differing perceptions about the management of places and environments GE 2-4 acquire and communicate geographical information using geographical tools for inquiry Content focus Students will examine natural and human features of Australia and the diverse characteristics of Australia’s neighbouring countries. Students will explore the different climates, settlement patterns and demographic characteristics of places and use this information to imagine what it would be like to live in different places. Students will consider how people’s perceptions of places are the basis for actions to protect places and environments. Geography (Learning Centre) GE2-1 examines features and characteristics of places and environments. GE2-2 describes the ways people, places and environments interact. GE2-3 examines differing perceptions the management of places and environment. GE2-4 acquires and communicates geographical information using geographical tools for inquiry. Students will be partaking in a guided investigation. They will describe the characteristics of different places at the scale and identify and describe similarities and differences between the characteristics of these places. Students recognise that people have different perceptions of places and how this influences their daily life and varying settlement patterns. Students pose simple geographical questions and collect information from different sources to answer these questions. They represent data in tables and simple graphs and the location of places their characteristics on labelled maps that use the cartographic conventions.
