Level 3 & 4 Wonga Weekly

WEEK 5 LEARNING

🌿 CBL

Our Big Idea this term is Country.

We will be weaving in our CBL Learning into Literacy and Mathematics this week as we learn about Australian history and our local Wurundjeri seasons.

Essential Question: 

What can we learn and take forward from First Nations people, history and culture? 

Guiding questions 

What does Country mean to Aboriginal people? 

What happened when Aboriginal people lost much of their connection to Country (land, culture and language)? 

Why is it important to respect, understand and learn about all cultures, and continue our reconciliation journey? 

📚 Literacy

This week in Phonics we are exploring the oo sound (oo, ui, ew, ue). 

In Reading, we will be using mentor texts to explicitly teach and model fluency. We will be text detectives, searching to find evidence in the text to answer comprehension questions.

At home you might like to:  when reading with your child, ask questions that require your child to look in more than one place to find the answer. Encourage your child to ask you a question about their text.

In Writing, we will investigate sentence types. These include; statements, commands, questions and exclamation sentences. We continue to identify nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs within a sentence

.

At home you might like to: write some simple sentences with your child, ensuring correct grammar and punctuation is used.

🎲 Maths

This week we will delve into the relationship between addition and subtraction. 

At home you might like to: Ask your child to teach you the 'rock paper scissors' addition game. Use every day experiences such as cooking and shopping to immerse your child in tasks that require additive thinking.
