Reading & Writing  

As part of the Literacy program in Term 2, students will be learning and reviewing the following sounds:

• nk
• a-e, i-e
• o-e

              -iIng

• a-e, i-e (Review)

Over this term we will also enjoy books such as ‘Iggy Peck Architect’ by Andrea Beaty, ‘The Most Magnificent Thing’ by Ashley Spires, ‘I Want My Hat Back’ by Jon Klassen, and ‘The Day the Crayon’s Quit’. 

During these units, the students will be exploring themes such as: 

• Passion and creativity 
• Self expression
• Problem and team work
• Honesty vs deception 
• Justices and consequences
• Paying attention to details 

Writing 

For writing, children will be creating short written and spoken texts, students use narrative and informative text structures; incorporate some detail from previously encountered texts, learnt topics or topics of interest; and include appropriate multimodal elements. They re-read their writing pieces and complete simple edits. We will continue to work on handwriting in both our reading and writing lessons.
