Term 3
Welcome back to school – the weather is still cool so make sure you’re dressed well for the day!
Literacy
During reading this term our focus continues with reading strategies already taught and some new ones will be introduced during the term:
Comprehension:
Questioning Owl – ask questions as you read; Spinner the Spider – make connections; Rocky Racoon – visualise as you read; Jabber the Reteller – retell the story in your own words; Iggy the Inferring Iguana – infer as you read!
Accuracy:
Eagle Eye – look at the pictures; Lips the Fish – get your lips ready; Tryin’ Lion – try it again; Stretchy Snake – ‘s-t-r-e-t-c-h it out; Chunky Monkey – chunk the word!
Fluency:
Punctuation Panda – pay attention to the punctuation; Auto Octopus – recognise our sight words automatically; Scoop the Pelican – scoop up the words and read them in phrases
The focus letter/word for each week is:
Week 1 – Bb/but
Week 2 – Ff/for
Week 3 – Gg/go get
Week 4 – Yy/you
Week 5 – Rr/run
Week 6 – Cc/come Oo/on
Week 7 – Ww/we
Week 8 – Ee/end Kk/king
Week 9 – Qq/Queen Uu/up Vv/very
Week 10 – Xx/fox Jj/jump Zz/zoo
Numeracy
In the area of Number, our focus continues on numbers to 20 and beyond – with a focus number each week (11-20). We will also be learning addition equations, subtraction equations, division (sharing) equations and what we use money for.
In the areas of Measurement & Geometry and Statistics & Probability we will continue learning about location (under, next to), graphs (how many has the most?) and 3D shapes.
Integrated Studies
This term we look at Toys – some of the questions raised may include:
*What are toys made of and how could we group them?
*What are toys used for? eg: different ages, inside play, outside play
*Which is your favourite toy?
This term we will be learning our songs/dance moves for the upcoming ‘Alice in Wonderland production – further information will be provided during the term! Thanks Mrs. Lowther and the Production Committee for all your work so far!
