Term 2 is here!
Here is our term overview
Inquiry
Our first inquiry of the year is linked into the health and P.E. curriculum. We are learning about how to live a balanced and healthy life.
Is my life balanced?
Deep Understandings
By setting and reflecting on achievable goals I can improve my life.
By living a balanced lifestyle, can help me improve my learning.
We are going to be finishing this inquiry in the first few weeks of term 3. There will be a sharing afternoon held on Wednesday 21st May at 2.00pm to 2.30pm. We will then be finishing the term with an inquiry about one of the Worlds Earth Systems - Our Weather.
Literacy
Our literacy program will still have the 3 main components - spelling, reading and writing.
Our reading and writing program is linked into our inquiry. We will start the term by finishing to write the recipes for our recipe book. We will next learn about writing excellent endings for our writing.
In our reading sessions we will be learning about the comprehension strategies asking questions, inferring, analysing and synthesising to help us create deeper understandings about what we are reading. The children have a reading log as part of their homework. Could you please encourage them to be reading regularly and filling in their logs.
During writing we will start the term with finishing writing our recipes for our recipe book and raps that show what we have learnt in our inquiry. In the next part of the term we are going to be learning to write excellent endings to our stories.
Math
We are going to have a strand focus on Measurement. In number we are going to be finishing addition and subtraction and starting multiplication and division. We will then start learning about ratios and proportions. We will also learn about different strategies to solve problems.
We are having a focus on learning our basic facts. It is important for the children to know these by heart. It would be great if you could support your child by helping them practice at home too.
