12C - AROUND THE TRAPS

Literacy

This week we have started a writing unit on fairytales. We have been exploring the elements of these tales, heroes, villains, magical creatures and settings.  We are working to understand that the purposes texts serve, shape their structure in predictable ways. We are working towards creating short imaginative texts that show emerging use of appropriate text structure, sentence-level grammar, word choice, spelling and punctuation.

Maths

This week the Maths focus is subtraction, exploring the connection between addition and subtraction solving simple addition and subtraction problems using a range of efficient mental and written strategies. 

Inquiry

Our new Inquiry Unit is called Through Generations where students will focus on History and Interpersonal skills.  We will use knowledge about what has changed and what has stayed the same to prepare for the future. There is a special focus this week on controlling our impulses in different situations.

RE (Religious Education)

This week we are celebrating the wonder and beauty of God’s presence in people and the world around us. In this unit, we are learning more about Jesus, discovering what life in Nazareth was like at the time of Jesus and where possible make links with our own life experience.
