In Term 4, students will continue to develop their love of Literacy through a range of tasks that build skills.

In reading:

They will build literal and inferred meaning and beginning to analyse texts by drawing on growing knowledge of context, language and visual features, print and multimodal structures to support comprehension
They will continue develop fluency, characterisation & expression using tools such as readers theatre.
They will investigate non fiction texts to gather and sort information that will assist them with the initial part of our inquiry into natural things. This gathering of knowledge will allow them to further engage more deeply in the final parts of our inquiry.
They will use their reading skills to think beyond the texts this will include relating the text to themselves, their prior knowledge & the wider world.

While writing students will continue to work through explicit spelling lessons focusing on suffixes and prefixes while revising prior knowledge of morphemes, syllables and vowel teams.

The students will explore narrative texts to help develop an understanding of how to create their own engaging piece of writing. They will investigate character development, the arc of a story and how to use tools such as adjectives, similes and metaphor to captivate and connect with the readers of their writing.

In speaking and listening the students will work on giving and receiving respectful peer feedback. Identify language that can be used for appreciating texts and the qualities of people and things.
