During reading in Week 7, we will continue to focus on Monitoring as we read. This helps us to consider what we are reading, and notice whether we are finding it tricky or we understand the content. To add to this strategy we are going to use visualising to recall the setting, identify how the character travels through the setting and the meaning of the scene. This week, we will also practise our reading fluency skills with our fluency partners.
In week 7, we will continue with free choice writing.
In word work, we will learn about apostrophes for possession and to combine words (contractions).
In Spelling this week, we will do a Mid-Term review of the spelling rules and concepts learnt so far, and revise them. Students will also take a Progress Monitoring test.
This week we will explore the power of 10 and how it works within our base-10 number system. We will also look at the area model to calculate larger sums.
This week in Health, we will begin our Cyber Safety unit, with a focus on Integrity. Students will learn about the importance of showing integrity online and consider ethical and safe practices online.
This week, students will learn about the impact of laws. They will consider examples of laws and why they are important to students' lives. They will explain why these laws are important and how they contribute to safety, fairness and order in the community.
