This term is going to be a very busy term getting to know our new class, swimming, Tech Arts, Thursday rotation here at school, leadership roles announced, sports camp applications due and Professional Development for teachers learning about new curriculum approaches.
Literacy Learning
This term in writing we will be looking at vocabulary development and writing a strong sentence. We will do this using quick writes, recounts and poetry.
During reading we will explore appropriate levelled journal stories and work on our deeper understanding of these.
We will also incorporate some spelling, handwriting and oral language in our Literacy programme.
