Learning

In Term 3, the Grade 1 students are focusing on the following:

• Reading – Answering comprehension questions about a text including questions where the answer is not stated directly in the text and using a range of strategies to work out unknown words (phonics, rereading, picture clues). They will be discussing characters, settings, events and images.
• Writing – forming letters correctly on the lines and using phonic knowledge to spell common words. Students will also be writing information reports about Australian animals.
• Numeracy – Multiplication and division using the terms ‘groups of’ and ‘sharing’, addition and subtraction from 20 using strategies such as counting on, counting back and doubles, 2D shapes, 3D objects, giving and following directions to locate an object.
• Inquiry – Our Inquiry topic this term is “Geography - environmental awareness”.

Home Learning

Home Reading – read everyday for at least 20 min. Children should be reading their “I read to you” book and parents should be reading, or assisting children to read the “Read to me” books. Books will be changed once a week. Please be aware of your child’s day to change their home readers and make sure they have their home reading folder on the correct day.

Math Seeds & Reading Eggs – your child can log into these apps/websites at home to practice their reading and numeracy. (if you don’t have the login details, please contact the classroom teacher)

Complete any unfinished class tasks sent home to complete.
