Literacy 

In Reading, we will: 

• Reflect on ourselves as readers. We will explore what engages us, texts and authors we love and book choices we make to maintain a love for reading and expand our knowledge and curiosity of our world.
• Self-reflect on reading and actively engage in conversations to set and monitor reading goals and work purposefully towards achieving them
• Use a variety of mentor texts to explore and explain how the text structure, language features, images and vocabulary are used to engage the audience and clearly communicate the author’s message

In Writing, we will: 

• Reflect on ourselves as writers.  We will explore authors that we admire and notice what we can learn from them and borrow in our own writing.
• Use our Writer’s Notebook to capture ideas, events and moments important to us or our curiosities about the world around us
• Use a variety of strategies to identify writing intentions and rehearse/plan writing
• Understand that the writer shows respect for the reader by applying what is known about conventional spelling, grammar and punctuation
