Our Learning
English
- Students have continued developing their handwriting by practising diagonal joins.
- Students have explored the prefix of some and applied this to their writing.
- Students have strengthened their sentence knowledge by identifying the subject - verb agreement. They have connected this knowledge with their prior learning of singular and plural verbs to ensure their writing makes sense by the verb agreeing with the subject.
- Students are using the mentor text of 'The Mess That We Made' to make text to world connections, through their knowledge of recycling, reducing and reusing waste.
- Students are using this text to write a persuasive piece of writing.
Maths
- Students have been learning about fractions.
- Students have explored fractions of a whole, fractions on a number line and fractions of a collection of items.
- Students are continuing to develop their number fluency through our Fluency in 5 program, all children enjoy working through the levels and are making progress.
SEL
- This term, students are focusing on diversity and inclusion.
- Students will explore how the people around us are all different yet we all belong.
- Students will continue to participate in the kindness campaign activities and understand the importance of being kind to others.
Inquiry
- Students have been using the text of 'The Mess We Have Made' to identify environmental problems concerning the ocean.
- Students are learning about cause and effect in particularly the effect that littering has on the ocean and marine animals.
Events and Reminders
Home work - A friendly reminder that students have a reading log and their multiplication charts in their homework books. It is an expectation that they read their fluency passages and practise their timestables at home, bringing their book in to be checked by their teacher on the designated day.
Hats - From September 1st all children must wear a hat out in the yard during recess and lunchtime. Please ensure your child has a hat.
