Reading
To meet the National Standards after one year at school, students should be reading, responding to, and thinking critically about books at the green level. To meet the National Standards after two years at school, it is at the Turquoise level.
If your child is not reading at their expected level for their time at school, it is not to say they won’t reach it by the end of the term or year.
I aim to see half of the reading groups one day, and half the next day. On the days I don’t read with your child’s group, they are to choose a book from their group’s reading box.
It is very important that your child reads to you every night.
I will collect the books they have read during the week the following Monday, so you have the weekend to go over any books you missed out on reading during the week.
The more your child reads the better! When they have finished reading each page, please spend some time discussing the story, talking about the pictures and what they think of the story.
Writing
This term the children will be learning to write with more independence. They need to know all of their sounds, blends and chunks, and be able to spell words from essential spelling lists 1, 2, 3 and 4. They should also be using full-stops and capital letters, and providing more details in their writing. Our first focus topic is recount writing, which is telling a story about something we have seen, heard or experienced. The key questions to write about are When? When did it happen? Who? Who went or was there? Where? Where did you go or where did it happen? What happened? First. Then. After that. Finally. And How? How was it? It was cool, fun, great, awesome, exciting, scary, sad, boring….
Maths
To meet the National Standards after one year at school, students are to be working at Stage 2 or 3. After two years at school, it is Stage 4.
I will send home the Maths goals your child is working at in their homework book so you can see how you can help your child at home also.
We are also learning about statistics, and will be collecting data, sorting it, graphing it and discussing it.
Religious Education
Religious education will mostly be around the Jesus strand this term with some work on Lent and Easter. A great way to support your child in their faith journey is to pray and attend Mass with them.
Concept Curriculum
Our concept this term is 'Community - Interaction for a common purpose'. We are going to look at the ways different teams work together, and what makes some teams work better than others.
Swimming
We will be swimming every day in Weeks 1,3,5,7 and 9, so please make sure your child has their togs, towel and goggles in a plastic bag for this.
