Readers Workshop

We are looking at the inferring strategy in Readers Workshop. Some of us began the unit with a crime scene to solve. We put our detective hats on to look at the clues and piece together what had happened! 

Location

We are learning to give directions to different locations. Students are using different prepositions such as straight, left, right and next to in order to help them. We practised our language of directions with steering wheels whilst being drivers and passengers.

Fractions

In maths strand, we are learning about fractions. We have learnt to recognise the difference between a whole and a half. We have practised making a half from a whole.

Spelling

This term we are focusing on digraphs and consonant blends. We have learned that digraphs are the combination of two letters that make a single sound while a consonant blend is when two or more consonants are blended together.

Writing

In writing this term, we have been focusing on narratives. We have learnt that the orientation tells us when and where the story is set and who the characters are. The compilation is where we learn what the characters are doing and the problem occurs. Finally, there is a resolution. This is where the problem is resolved. We have also learnt about nouns and verbs, and how we can use adjectives to make our own writing more interesting and descriptive.
