Week 7: Learning

Wow, we are into Week 7. This week in Reading we are going to focus on the children identifying words, they know thought out there reading and sounding out the unknown words. We will still continue reinforcing 1 to 1 pointing, using pictures to help decode the unknown word and having fun when reading. Please keep these in mind when you are reading with your child at home.


Writing this week is going to have lots of fun. On Monday afternoon we are making popcorn. We will talk about what is looks like, sounds like, smells like, feels like and taste like. We will then be using that to write about for the week. Giving the students an experience which relates to their senses can help hook them into writing.  Further that we will continue talking about what a 'Good Writer is'. 

In maths this week we are continuing counting forwards and backwards to 20, ordering numbers and groups with numbers to 10 (3 + 2 =, 6 + 4 =). Along with this, we will be singing the teen song. This is a song to help the kids identify and know a teen number. We find a lot of us get this mixed up.

With our Inquiry, we have been finding out the answers to the questions we decided on. We were very interested with some of the answers. This week we are deciding how we would like to take this further. We are going to decide on a personal or group goal. We would like to achieve in the school community. It may be going to the library with a friend at lunchtime,  getting a ball out of the PE shed at lunchtime.
