STATEMENT OF INTENT- TERM 4 WEEK 7 and 8

Learning this Week

During weeks 7 and 8, we will be having our swimming program.

READING: (Fluency and Comprehension)

This week students will continue to practise using a variety of comprehension strategies to make sense of various texts. We will also be practising answering NAPLAN questions, based on the texts we read. Students will continue to practise their reading fluency.

WRITING:

This week students will publish their self-evaluations. There will be a focus of grammar during these weeks, in particular working on verb tenses.

MATHS: (fractions)

This week students will continue to recognise and describe fractions. They will also focus on shapes (e.g. rotating shapes to create patterns.)

Spelling and Grammar

In Spelling this week, we will be reflecting on the year and revisit previous spelling choices. These lessons will be determined by spelling results and areas that need to be revisited.

At home, you can support your child by doing the following activities:

Child writes the word, saying each sound as he/she writes.
Draw child’s attention to the target phonic pattern.
Help child choose the correct spelling pattern if there are options.

At home, you can support your child by doing the following activities:

Child writes the word several times, saying each letter name as he/she writes.
Child writes a sentence using the target word.

In Grammar this week, students will continue to explore verb tenses.

** Differentiated learning will be present in each class to cater for all students individual learning requirements.

Wellbeing

In Wellbeing this week, we will be focusing on more Respectful Relationship lessons.

Our goal will be:

to define what does it mean to ask, give or refuse consent.

In this lesson:

• Students will learn what it means to ask for consent.

• Students will learn what it means to give or refuse consent.

• Students will practise strategies they can use when they need to seek, give or refuse consent.

We will be explaining that we also use the word ‘consent’ like we use the word ‘permission’. When someone asks for consent, this means they ask for permission. This could sound like, ‘Please, can I borrow your pencils?’ or ‘Is it okay to hug you?’ When someone says ‘no’, this means they don’t give permission or consent. This could sound like, ‘No, you can’t borrow my pencil’ or ‘No, you can’t hug me.’

We will emphasize that we can refuse consent when people want us to do something we think is mean, dangerous or wrong. We can also say 'no' if we are uncomfortable in certain situations.
Students will complete a drawing of someone saying ‘no’ or refusing consent or permission when someone asks them. Students to share their drawing and explain the situation they have chosen where they might want to say no, or not give consent.
