Home Inquiry  

Home Inquiry will commence in Week 3. Home Inquiry is the learning which is requested to be completed at home during the week. More information will be provided about this at PIN and in the newsletter next week. For now, any reading at home, (preferably every night- even just 15 minutes) would be wonderful.

Writer’s Workshop: we will explore what writer’s do and will begin exploring how we can get ideas for our writing.  

Readers Workshop: we will explore the reading environment and what is needed to create a space for reading, as well as choosing ‘good fit’ books.  

Mathematics: we will begin looking at number skills and will be learning some new mental computation games this week. We will also discuss what mathematicians do and what characteristics they have.   

Unit of Inquiry: We will continue building our class culture and developing our class expectations. We will also explore the Learner Profile Attributes.  

This semester (Term 1 & Term 2) we will have an ongoing unit of inquiry: Who We Are with a theme of resilience. This will continue across both terms with focus lessons occurring weekly.
