Literacy

In  our Literacy block, we have begun exploring language devices and word choices that authors use to make their writing interesting and to allow us as readers to visualise what is happening. 

So far we have explored;

Rhyme - where words share the same end sound.

Alliteration - when 2 or more words start with the same sound. 

Our role as readers is to identify these word choices within books and our role as a writer is to apply these devices within our own writing. 

Numeracy

In Numeracy we have been working with money.

Students have been using strategies such as grouping and skip counting to count collections of coins.
