EAL with Mrs Scopas

TERM 1 EAL 

It has been a productive term in our EAL classes, with students learning new routines while developing their speaking and listening, reading, and writing skills.

In Years 1 and 2, the focus of the second half of the term has been on building phonics knowledge and immersing students in practical learning experiences to support spelling and sound recognition.

While In Years 3 and 4, students have been working with their spelling words, practising reading aloud using fluency texts, and exploring narrative texts such as Aesop’s fables. 

Additionally in Year 5 students have also been developing letter-writing skills by corresponding with students from a nearby primary school.

Finally in Year 6, the focus has been on analysing narrative structures and engaging with non-fiction texts, including studies of notable Australian figures.

I look forward to Term 2 and continuing to support students in their English language development.
