What We're Learning This Term
TERM 1 OUTLINE
English
Writing: Students will be focussing on narrative writing. Students will look at the structure and language features of narrative texts. They will further refine their skills when writing descriptive snapshots, expanding their vocabulary and setting the scene for the reader. Students will also practise their touch typing through 'Typing Club' to improve their efficiency when working on their devices.
Reading: Through reading daily, students will continue to develop their reading fluency and word recognition. Students will also strengthen and extend their comprehension skills focussing on summarising, monitoring, predicting, questioning, visualising, and making connections.
Spelling: Students will continue with the Spelling Mastery program. At the end of each week, they will participate in a spelling test.
Mathematics
In Maths, students will be focussing on place value, the four processes, measurement, fractions and decimals, and investigating the 'real life' applications of this learning through problem solving and mathematical investigations.
Science
We will begin the term with our unit 'Friends or Foe?' investigating plant life cycles and pollinators. In STEM we participate in design challenges, using everyday materials to achieve a goal.
Civics and Citizenship
Students will be investigating the symbols of the Australian Flags and how laws are made in Australia.
