STATEMENT OF INTENT- TERM 1 WEEK 4

Learning this Week

READING:

This week, we will begin to explore Informative texts. We are examining key text features using an informative text on Kookaburras, with a focus on the purpose of informative texts. We will continue to practise using our best “reader’s voice.”

We will also continue to readWilly the Wimp as a class and focus on vocabulary and summarise the beginning, middle and end of the text.

WRITING:

This week, students will begin to write their own narratives. Inspired by the text features explored in our reading, they will develop their own characters, settings, and problems with solutions. Students are focusing to use interesting vocabulary and hunt for nouns, which has been our grammar focus. They have shared their work in the Author’s Chair, using feedback from their peers to make edits and improvements.

MATHS:

In Maths, we are revising place value concepts for two-digit and three-digit numbers. We will be focusing on reading and writing three-digit numbers in worded form, and we will be focusing on internal zeros in numbers.

We are also be looking at and learning about data collection. Students will focus on identifying an open question and explaining why a question is open.
