Foundation News

Welcome back to Term 4! It has been so wonderful to see the students settled and ready for our Last Term. 

English

In English, we have continued revising previous sounds. We have been reading and writing words containing 4-5 sounds!! 

Students have started using the Sky Grass Dirt handwriting book to practice the formation of both uppercase and lowercase letters. 

In Story champs, we are beginning to write our own stories! We have been retelling a familiar story and using this as a guide to write our own stories. Our stories include, character/s, a problem, a feeling, a solution to the problem and an ending. 

This Term our Library has opened up! We now have the opportunity to borrow new books each week! Below are the days that each class will visit the library. 

*Students are able to borrow if they have their reading satchel with them. They will hold onto the books for a week and they will need to be returned before borrowing a new one.

Core Knowledge 

This term, the Foundation classes have been learning how to take care of the Earth. We have learnt that the world is made up of air, water and land. We have been exploring where the rubbish we make goes and learning about how we can reduce, reuse and recycle to make our planet safer!

The Foundation students had a visit from Western Water. They got to learn about the water cycle and re-enact the process. 

Maths

In week 1, Foundation was learning about Duration and learning about activities that have a shorter duration and a longer duration. 

This term, Foundation have also been learning about Division. We have been looking at what it means to equally share between groups. The students are beginning to explore remainders.
