Welcome Back To Term 3

Welcome Back To Term 3


Inquiry/Reading

Our inquiry concept for this term is  'STRUCTURES' we already have lots of wondering questions that the learners of Room 16 have come up with.  Some of these include:


What are the different structures in the human body/heart/brain?
What are the structures of plants?
How do brains send messages?
Why are buildings so tall in cities?

Keep encouraging your child to think of wondering ideas around 'structures' as they talk about their learning with you at home.

This will also integrate in with our reading as we started off the week with a visit to the Life Education Van with Harold.  This focus has been around 'Brainy Bunch'


Number
Addition and Subtraction

Strand
Geometry

Focus: Use the language of geometry accurately and use formal geometrical language in a clear and precise way.


Writing
Our Aim: Is to Use our Long Term Memory to create a recount/snapshot of a 'Moment In Time'.

Purpose: To Entertain

We started week 1 with a memory of a 'cold crisp day'.  Focussing on a range of language features.  Some of these included personification, onomatopoeia and a 3_ed 'adjective' sentence.
