Our Learning – Weeks 2&3
English
-In Spelling, students will learn about the prefix dis- and the Latin root /tract/. They will learn what these mean, and build words using them.
-Students will learn about how authors build descriptions in narratives through the use of expanded noun phrases. They will look at how descriptive language helps us visualise while reading.
-Students will learn about the structure of narratives and write their own narratives that include an orientation, problem and solution.
Maths
-Students are engaging in Daily Review where we review the learning they completed previously about a range of mathematics topics.
-Students will practise making larger numbers (up to five digits) and writing them in many forms, such as standard form, place value form, and word form.
-Students will work on using number lines to compare and order numbers. They will learn how to benchmark the halfway mark and look for the numbers they are close to.
SEL
-Students participated in the Positive Start program to build their connections, settle into school and refresh our values and routines.
-Students are building their emotional literacy through our Respectful Relationships lessons. These focus on what emotions look like, emotional triggers and our emotions across a school day.
Inquiry
-Students are learning about identify and belonging. We are looking at our similarities and differences, and how these influence our friendships and help us belong.
Events and Reminders
Meet The Teacher - Monday 9th Feb - This is an opportunity to visit your child's classroom after school to meet the teacher and have a look around the classroom.
School Photos- Thursday 19th February
Hats Reminder- Just a friendly reminder that students MUST wear hats until April and after September. Please check with your child that they have a school hat and are bringing it to school daily. If they don't have a hat, they will have to play under the shade sails.
Drink Bottles - Please remind your child to bring a drink bottle to school daily so that they have easy access during class learning time.
Ongoing Reporting
In Week 1, the students completed their first Ongoing Reporting Learning Task. They filled in their work with what they are looking forward to in Year 3.
Please make sure to check compass for instructions on how to view this Learning Task, as well as future Learning Tasks.
