CLASSROOM NEWS

LLLL:  We have been very busy learning about all the different combinations that make the sound ‘o’;  o-e   oe  oa   o ow ou! Ask us why the o is jumping over the consonant in the split diagraph o-e 

READING: We are continuing to apply all our code knowledge when reading to help decode unknown words. We are using the skill of prediction using known clues such as the front cover, a part of a story or clues in pictures to predict what may happen next.

WRITING: We have continued with our Procedural Text focus where we have focussed on the language required to write a procedure, first, then, next and finally. We have investigated verbs that are required to give information about what do do in the procedure ie stirring, mixing, chopping

MATHS: Investigating financial situations that require money. Adding up how much is required to purchase something and subtracting that amount from a value to give change-we have had lots of fun!

INQUIRY: We are learning Why is Country/Place important to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People?
