Level 3 & 4 Wonga Weekly

Week 11 Learning

CBL 

Students will be planning a presentation for our Open Afternoon on June the 27th - we hope that you can join us!

Literacy

This week in Phonics we are continuing the air sound (air as in hair and are as in care and ear as in as in bear). 

Students are continuing to investigate text types with a focus on biographies. They will be learning how to read for research using reputable sources. They will be using the structure of an information report to share their findings about an inspiring Indigenous Australian.

What you can do at home

Help your child to set aside time to read - preferably every night. This will help them build important learning habits. Your child now has access to Reading Eggspress, to help with adding variety to their range of text choices. Ask your child to retell or summarise what is happening in the books they are reading.

Maths

Students will continue to calculate the area and perimeter of a range of shapes through games and hands on materials.

What you can do at home

Talk about and count vertices (corners) edges, and faces of 2D and 3D shapes. Notice and name 2D and 3D shapes in your environment, especially more challenging shapes such as rhombus, trapezium, prisms and pyramids. Discuss the measurement tools used around the house and real-life situations where perimeter is calculated.

CONCERNS

It is important to let your child’s classroom teacher know of any problems/concerns that your child may share with you about their time at school. Please alert the school (classroom teacher) about the problem as soon as possible, allowing school staff to work through it, rather than trying to solve it yourself or with other parents.

PREMIERS’ READING CHALLENGE

Your child should have now received an information page and login details which will set them up to participate in the Victorian Premiers' Reading Challenge.  Every child in the school has been registered but participation is optional. If you would like to participate, follow the steps outlined to enter the books read.
