Numeracy

In Numeracy, the focus is on looking at halves in many different ways! Half is two equal parts, objects can be halved and they can look different to each other, half of one object can look different to half of another object and developing the skill to find half of a group. The first minutes of each Numeracy lessons will now be dedicated to reviewing last week's content. 

Literacy

Jumping forward to Week 5 & 6 we will continue our work with non-fictions texts in Literacy and Inquiry. Student will research facts about zebras and also choose their own animal to write an information report on. We can't wait to create play-dough models of animals and describe it using adjectives. Heart words that are continuing to be consolidated are; have, saw, look, there, he and she.
