Welcome back to Term Four.

We have gone straight back into our routines and are working hard. Room Two has had a stable number of children since early Term Three so everyone is familiar with the routines and is working hard.

This term we will continue focussing on:

ü       alphabet letter names and sounds

ü       improving letter formation in printing

ü       learning the most frequently used words in our jelly bean word lists

ü       learning how to write lots of these jelly bean words independently in our stories

ü       learning about what is a sentence

ü       counting to 50

ü       learning about what comes before and after for the numbers to 50

ü       counting groups of objects

ü       recognising and reading numbers

For those of us who get proficient in the first things, we are also adding

            fluency  in our reading

            trying to read lots more

            thinking about our reading and answering questions about what is happening in the story and what might be going to happen

            writing 2 or more sentences

            trying to write harder words by listening to the sounds the word makes

            learning about joining and separating sets

            writing some addition and subtraction equations

For our topics we will be looking at Healthy Food, Life Education and Harold, then Pets. We are going to complete our Pets unit with a visit to the zoo.

We are hoping Kelly Sports continues to come on Thursdays working towards our athletics day. In week two we are having a try at Cricket with Milo sports.

In week two we will also be having a look at all the books that are there for the Book Fair.

We will be keeping busy this term.

Come and visit us and have a look at our books and art work.  We are trying very hard in all that we do
