Term 1, Week 6

In Reader's workshop, students will continue to learn about visualising. This week we will focus on Descriptive settings and the vocabulary used by the authors to build a picture in the reader's mind.  

We will do this through our mentor texts- Just Another Ordinary Day and The Chronicles of Narnia.

Students will practice visualising with their own Good Fit Books.

This week we be doing a final edit of our narratives, working on adding detail to our setting descriptions. Then we will publish our narratives.

We will also be doing a writing task in preparation for NAPLAN.

This week we are beginning to focus on addition and subtraction. We will look at number fact families with two digit numbers as well as using partitioning to solve addition word problems, where digits cross barriers in several place value columns. 

This week in Health,  we will continue our lessons with our new Friendology Program. 

The first session is focused on 'Tricky Situations'. It includes discussion about how to politely say no, birthday parties and sharing friends.

In the second session, students reflect on their learning so far. They will demonstrate self-awareness and empathy, deepening their connections with classmates.
