CURRICULUM

📚 Reading 

Students will read poems about Summer and complete word work based on summer concepts. They will learn how to be sun smart and care for themselves during the hotter weather by making a labelled poster. 

What can you do at home?

-Log into Reading Eggs and find a suitable text (remember to change the age for 5 - 7 years old). It might be a good idea to select a non fiction text!

-Assist your child to read their take home book each night and their magic words. 

-Help your child to read with expression and fluency as they read. 

📝 Writing 

As the season changes, students will be writing about Summer and Summer activities. We will also begin our Christmas writing by writing a Christmas wish list.

What can you do at home?

-Continue to encourage correct pencil grip (pointer on top).

-Encourage correct formation of letters.

-If your child writes at home, assist them to hear and write the sounds in words. 

🔢  Maths 

Students will continue to revise number concepts of place value in the teens and recognising numbers above twenty (for those who are wanting the challenge). They will use tens frames and hundreds charts to build their understanding of place value involving tens and ones. Students will engage in challenging maths tasks to explore this concepts, so that we can observe how they persist and find multiple solutions to problems.

What can you do at home? 

-Explore the Mathseeds app on the iPad. You might want to choose games / tasks that involve the concept of place value. 

🌏 CBL - Discovery 🔎

We will be making a poster and sharing our greatest discovery with our friends. 

💻 Cyber Safety

Students will complete the lesson called 'Walking in Their Shoes', which focuses on understanding how others feel by reflecting on their own emotions and experiences.
