What We Are Learning: Term 4 Week 1

Literacy: This week students are learning the digraph sounds wh (as in whip) and ph (as in dolphin). They will be using these digraphs to read and write words as well as constructing sentences. During writing sessions this week our focus will be on poetry using the poem "Where is the Sun?" Students will continue to participate in guided reading sessions and handwriting lessons throughout the week. 

Numeracy: This week students will revise identifying fact families using addition and subtraction.   

Science: During science this week students will participate in an investigation about shadows. This process will encourage students to apply their understanding of inquiry skills.  

Geography: Words to describe the weather will be the focus during geography this week. This will include students developing the understanding that weather reports contain details about temperature, wind and rainfall.
