Reading   

As part of literacy in Term 4, sounds will be looking closely at the following sounds:

Sounds we will have a focus on are

• oo (book)/u (put), oo (too)
• ew/ui/ue, au/aw/augh
• ea/a, oi/oy
• ou/ow, kn/wr/mb

As part of the home learning students will continue to engage in reading decodable texts. Over this term we will also enjoy books such as ‘Where The Forest Meets The Sea’ by Jeannie Baker, ‘Looking After Country With Fire’ by Victor Steffensen, ‘The Imagineer’ by Christopher Cheng and Lucia Masciullo, ‘Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge’ by Mem Fox. 

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

• Storytelling
• Connection to place
• Caring for Country
• Learning from Elders
• People and nature are connected
• Imagination and creativity
• Innovation and problem-solving
• Memory
• Empathy
• Kindness
• Identity
