Key Points from Ms G's Info session

Next Week's Plans

The next few weeks in the Brolga Room will see the students focusing on selecting goals for both Literacy and Numeracy. Each child will be asked to identify strategies that they could use to achieve these targets and then discuss what assistance will be necessary from their support network.  Our Multiflow Maps will be instrumental in helping us with this thinking. Through empowering the kids to take ownership of these goals we are encouraging them and developing skills for them to take responsibility for their own unique learning journey.

During our Inquiry unit we will also be looking at what would be necessary to explicitly teach a group of peers a specific skill or improve their understanding and expertise in an area. Students will work out a plan of attack and then work toward actually preparing a mini-lesson where they are the resident expert.

In Maths we will continue exploring place value and also look briefly at measuring length accurately using standard measures such as rulers, tape measures and trundle wheels.
