STATEMENT OF INTENT- TERM 3 WEEK 1

READING: (Fluency and Comprehension)

This week in Reading, we are focussing on the comprehension strategy inferring. Students infer what they have read by looking for clues in the text and use what they already know from past experiences. We will explore various texts to practise this skill.

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

In our Storybook lessons, we will continue to explore the text called Under the Southern Cross by Frane Lessac.

WRITING: (Procedural)

This week students will begin to explore the features of procedural writing and experiment with creating their own procedural texts!

Students will also have an opportunity for free choice writing.

MATHS: (Repeated addition/multiplication, and Location)

In Maths this week, students will begin to explore multiplication as repeated addition. Students will recognise and make equal groups, learn how to represent equal groups as repeated addition, and learn to represent multiplication using an array.

Students will also begin to explore location, and will begin to learn to create and interpret maps of familiar places.

SPELLING and GRAMMAR

reading and spelling compound words.

Wellbeing

This week we will be revisiting a CHAMPS lesson about using a fixed mindset verses a growth mindset.

We will be thinking and sharing about times we might have had a fixed mindset, versus times we have had a growth mindset (and things we said to ourselves so we didn't give up!)

We will be reading 'Giraffes Can't Dance' to support these discussions.
