Ms Hale
The first few weeks of the term have been very busy for 5/6H. We have been completing our start of year assessment tasks and getting into our daily routines. Three mornings a week the whole school takes part in a 15 minute fitness program and the class also does Brain Gym to activate the brain to help with learning.
We have Crunch and Sip each morning, when we eat a piece of fruit or vegetables to recharge our bodies and help us become more alert learners.
Our Literacy sessions consist of ‘Soundwaves’ spelling, guided reading groups, handwriting and literacy games. Our writing focus for the term is Narrative and Persuasive texts.
This term we are studying the novel ‘The Goldfish Boy’ by Lisa Thompson.
In Maths we focus on two topics each week.
Number and Algebra- Addition and subtraction, Multiplication and Division, Money and Financial Mathematics, Patterns and Algebra, Fractions and Decimals
Statistics and Probability- Data and Chance
