Maths
This Term in Maths
we will be working on the Number. We will spend the first few weeks revising
and consolidating our Maths Strategies such as looking for 10, doubles/near
doubles, jump strategy, split strategy and rainbow facts.
We will be working
on skip counting and grouping. The students will work on recognising, ordering
and representing numbers up to 10 000 and using a number line. We will
investigate the connection between addition and subtraction and use our
knowledge to solve problems.
English
Spelling/Grammar-
This term our goal for
spelling is to increase students’ ability to spell a wider range of high
frequency words correctly. We will work on transferring their spelling
knowledge into all areas of writing. There will be a focus on working on nouns,
verbs and contractions.
Writing- Our two goals this term are to explicitly
teach paragraphing to students to ensure they can structure them correctly. We
will then have a focus on developing their Persuasive and Narrative writing.
Students will begin to work on learning modern cursive.
Reading- This term our goal is for all students to
complete the Premiers Reading Challenge and develop a positive attitude to
reading a variety of texts. We will work through comprehension strategies such
as Making Connections and Using Prior Knowledge. We will also be
working intensively with Jane Moore in term one on reading and book selections.
Geography
This term we will
have a focus on understanding how the world is divided, knowing the states and
territories of Australia and why people are connected to places. Students will
also learn about different climate types as well as different types of
settlements that people live in. We will also learn about Australia’s
neighbouring countries.
Health
Students will
explore effective ways to communicate and interact with others and be involved
in team building activities. We will have a focus on wellbeing and will be
working on Growth Mindset activities. We will also be involved in social
skills.
