During term 2, Homegroup B will be focusing on the following areas:

Literacy 

Through the Sounds Write program, students will continue to build their knowledge of sound patterns and how to segment and blend sounds to read and write words. In Reading, we will be focusing on exploring different authors and their books and explaining why we like a particular book better than another. In Writing, we will be focusing on creating narratives with a clear beginning, middle and end and a problem and solution. We will also begin forming opinions about different topics and explaining our opinions to try and change someone’s mind. 

Maths 

Our focus will be on continuing to develop our place value knowledge of reading, writing, ordering and making numbers. We will also be building on our knowledge of addition and subtraction strategies to help us solve a range of problems. Data and graphing will also provide opportunities to gather information and present it in a number of different ways.   

Religious Education

During our Religion Inquiry this term, students are learning about the purpose of signs and symbols in their lives and will transfer this knowledge to an understanding of the signs and symbols related to the Church. They will identify some symbols and actions that are part of the celebration of Baptism and the Sacrament of Penance.

Inquiry 

Students will be exploring how we can make physical changes to everyday objects and materials such as bending, stretching and twisting.  They will be learning about how to describe and compare the changes they can see through context specific vocabulary.
