This term will be jammed pack and before we know it, it will be over!
This term we will begin by focusing on Fairytales which will be mainly integrated into our English block in the morning. We will be looking at a variety of texts and using an array of comprehension strategies to show our understanding of the text.
Our Writing focus will be Narrative, Persuasive and we will finish with letter writing in the lead up to Christmas (OMG, can you believe it?!).
Grammar and punctuation will be an important part of our writing program this term. We started the term looking at commas, creating comma kings and queens and exploring when we need to use commas in our writing. We will look revise capital letters, full stops and learning more about exclamation marks, apostrophes, question marks and quotation marks.
Our Math focus will be a revision of Addition and Subtraction strategies with a focus on using these to solve word problems. We will also be looking at data, place value, fractions, odd and even numbers, skip counting and patterning.
In HASS we will be looking at how we can change spaces within places and how they can be rearranged to suit different purposes and how we can care for these places.
In our Science unit we will be looking at the outcome of changes that occur to every day substances. We will explore physical and chemical changes produces by energy sources eg. heating, melting or freezing.
