During the next fortnight, students will be undertaking learning in the following areas:
| Subject | Learning Focus |
|---|---|
| Reading | Week 8 & 9 - We will be exploring a range of texts that include sounds and heart words as part of our Little Learners Love Literacy program. Students will participate in a range of reading activities that will support them in developing their comprehension skills and phonological awareness. Currently we are introducing the controlled 'r' phoneme. |
| Writing | Week 8 & 9- Students will explore information text, learning to summarise, note taking and writing in full sentences. Students are currently writing about an Australian animal of their choice and will begin their research project this week. |
| Maths | Week 8 & 9 - Students will be revising time, including ordering time, duration, o'clock, half past, an exploring new concept as telling the time quarter past and quarter to the hour. |
| Inquiry | Week 8 & 9 - Students will continue this terms inquiry unit on exploring a range of countries and will begin their own research projects this week using the information writing skills learnt through the writing unit. |
| SEL | Week 8 & 9 - We will be exploring the concept of 'what we can control and cannot.' |
News and Reminders.
- Fathers & Special Others is happening on Friday 1st September.
- MAD Day & Footy Day: Both events are happening on Friday 8th September.
- Colour Run: This is happening on Thursday 14th September.
- Parent teacher interviews: These will be held on the Monday the 4th and Tuesday the 5th of September. Please book a time with your child's classroom teacher via Compass.
- Take home books: Nightly reading of your child's decodable book will help with fluency, comprehension and blending skills. Don't forget to go through the sounds we have learnt so far in our phonics books also! This will help cement those sounds. Please remember to bring your child's reading books back to school once a week so that they can be changed each week (check with your child's teacher for their changing day), as well as signing your child's reading log (located at the back of their phonics book) every night.
- Library Books: We have a number of overdue library books. Students cannot borrow a new library book until their overdue book/s are returned. Please check with your child's teacher if you're unsure of your child's library day.
