Literacy:
In Literacy we have been reading interesting passages matched to a picture prompt that potential could start a narrative. Students have been asked to identify words that are unknown to them and to look up the meaning in a dictionary or on their laptop. In our Writer's Notebooks we have brainstormed possible narratives including vocabulary and interesting first sentences. Next week we will be using one of these brainstorms to plan, write, edit and publish a narrative we can read to a student in F-2.
In Spelling we have been looking at the base word 'dic - dict' meaning say, tell, proclaim.
This word builder picture below is part of the homework this fortnight. How many words do you know and do you know the meaning too?
Numeracy:
In Numeracy, we have turned our focus towards Data Representation. The students have been building on their understanding of what data is, how we can read data, and how we can represent our data by creating pictographs, column graphs, and tally charts. We specifically looked at what a valuable data question is, and how we can collect this data. We also focused on how we can read graphs, and the information we can find out by interpreting the graph.
As a revision, we took some time to brush up on our problem solving strategies when working with whole number operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division), as having different problem solving strategies in our tool box can help us be readily equip to solve a larger range of mathematical problems!
Inquiry:
For our Term 1 Inquiry focus on 'Health', we have been thinking deeper about our healthy habits, and what health means to us as unique individuals. We have been looking at what makes a community safe, healthy, and active, and how we are surrounded with health initiatives in the wider community. We looked at health messages around us and how we can utilise local areas and community groups to support our health. One way we can promote health and wellbeing is by creating our own Health Promotion Posters!
