We have had a great week enthusiastically getting stuck into our new unit and learning. The children especially enjoyed our first trip to the airport where the children looked at different symbols focussing on what they are used for.
In Maths we have started looking at place value. The children have been busy showing what they know and looking into partitioning.
In English the children have shared their knowledge in phonics and spelling. They have also started focussing on the reading comprehension strategy: self-monitoring. Our text type focus is retell and we have made a start to look at the features of this.
Effective communication can be enhanced through different methods.
Next week the children will be considering what makes a good symbol and an effective way to communicate as well as what is the difference between a picture and a symbol.
They will be looking at the messages from the symbols in Australian Aboriginal art and making their own.
We will looking at writing a recount of our trip to the airport
today.
Next week we will continue to focus on place value including how to partition, the different ways to represent numbers, and the value of each digit.
Mathletics passwords are in your child’s diary. Please make sure that an adult supports your child when working through the place value activities. Well done to all those who have made a great start and especially to those who already have achieved certificates.

PLEASE CAN YOU REMIND YOUR CHILDREN THAT ANY ITEMS THEY BRING TO SCHOOL SHOULD BE LABELLED WITH THEIR NAMES AND IF IT IS SOMETHING VERY PRECIOUS TO THEM, IT SHOULD NOT BE BROUGHT TO SCHOOL.
