READING: (Fluency and Comprehension)

This week in Reading, we are continuing to explore comprehension strategies. Students will practise making connections between two different texts (text to text connections), and making connection between the text and what they know about the world (text to world connections).

Students are continuing to build their reading fluency by reading and talking about a range of different texts. We are working towards becoming confident readers and reflective thinkers who can express our ideas clearly and convincingly. 

In our Storybook lessons, we will  explore the text 'Collecting Colour' by Kylie Dunstan, focusing on vocabulary, narrative elements and answering questions. Our feature vocabulary words for this text are: scan, pesky and occasionally

WRITING: (Narrative text- Storytelling)

This week students will continue to practise Storytelling through the text, 'Tiddalick: The Frog who caused a Flood' (A Dreamtime Story). Students will continue to be using this text to create their own version of the text, by changing parts of the text (e.g. the setting or the character) to support their retell. Students will then practise sharing their own story aloud to others.

MATHS: (Place Value and Measurement)

This week students will round four-digit numbers to the nearest 10, 100 and 1000. We will be using number lines to support this.

We will also continue our unit on Measurement, focusing on comparing and ordering the length of objects using informal units.
