During term 1, we will be focusing on the following areas:

Literacy - In Reading our main focus will be determining the main idea in texts we are reading and using the supporting evidence within the text to explain our reasoning. We will begin sending readers home next week, until then please encourage your child to read books from home or the local library.

In Writing we will be focusing on creating engaging narratives with a clear beginning, middle and end, including a problem and solution that grabs the reader’s attention from start to finish!

Mathematics - In Maths this term we will be focusing on understanding the place value system and identifying and describing the properties of different numbers. We will also be focusing on the properties of 2D and 3D shapes.

Inquiry - This term, during our Inquiry unit, the students will explore who they are as a learner, how we can be successful learners, and how to work collaboratively with others. This will tie in with our School Wide Expectations - Safe, Respectful, Inclusive and Persistent.

Religion – This term in Religious Education, the students will learn the Easter story and the importance of using Lent to focus on people in need and how we can follow in the footsteps of Jesus. Through this learning, students will explore how the mission of Jesus continues today through the Church.
