Week 5: Learning

The class worked hard last week on trying to use their manners throughout the day within the classroom, outside and I am hoping at home. I hope you have noticed. Also last week we talked about what is a community and who is in our school community. This week we will continue inquiring around this, but get the students to start thinking about what they would like to find out about the school and discuss how we could find that out.


Literacy:
Reading and writing are now fully up and running. The students are all settling into the routine and expectations in these areas within the class. This week we are working on activities that relate to the beginning sounds in words.  Further that we are focusing in reading on 1 to 1 pointing, word identity, using pictures to help decode an unknown word. Please keep these in mind when you are reading with your child at home.

Maths:
This week we are going to continue with statistic, but discuss what a tally chart is. As a class, we will make a tally chart of what pets we have within the class. Once again we will be using the words more, less, same and different to discuss and talk about our findings. 
Also, as a warm up in the class, we will be practices counting forwards and backwards from 20 before we hit into our rotation where we are working on number identity, ordering, and grouping to their ability in their maths group. 

    Spelling: 
    We have had 2 lovely parents offer to come in and help check and change the student's spelling words. These will get done on random days throughout the week, but they will be changed at least once a week.

    Reminders: 

    • Lunchtime water fun Tuesday: Bring your togs and a drink bottle or water gun for our water fight  
    • Swimming Wednesday and Friday 
    • Library Wednesday: Bring back your books 
    • Mufti Day Friday
