Term 3 Learning

Wow! Time just seems to be flying by and we are already more than half way through the term.


This Term so far we have been focusing on some tricky concepts, however, we never let any challenge stop us in Room 9!

LITERACY

In Literacy we have been focusing on;

1. Phonics (recognition of sounds in words) -  Bossy 'e' (a_e, i_e, o_e, u_e) like cake, kite, mute, slope, Vowel Digraphs (ai,ay,aw) like rain, play, crawl
2. Spelling - Controlled R (ar,er,ir,or,ur)
3. Reading and comprehension
4. Writing- Narratives
5. Handwriting - letter formation

NUMERACY

In Numeracy we have done a lot of consolidation work on place value (tens and ones) and addition and subtraction of large numbers.


We are now working on;

1. Calendar and Time (looking for dates/navigating a calendar and times to the hour and half past)
2. Mass (measuring and comparing objects weights)

We are so proud of the students and would like to praise each and every one for their continued hard work and effort. It is amazing to see how positive and enthusiastic they are for learning and I hope they cherish this value of learning as they grow.


We would also like to thank you as parents for your continued support. Without you we would not achieve as much as we do.

LEARNING JOURNEYS

Learning Journeys are scheduled for Tuesday of week 10. We are already hard at work preparing for this and students are excited to invite parents and family members into class to share their learning journey so far this year. I hope to see all parents on this night as it is a fantastic experience for yourself and your child.
