InitiaLit

During Weeks 9 and Week 10, children will learn the following sounds and meet the characters:

• oo - moon
• ng - swing
• ay - play

During the next two weeks, children will learn the following Tricky Words:

• what
• where
• want
• some
• come 

In Week 9, in Writing we are learning to identify how visual cues and creative language are used in narratives to add meaning and enhance enjoyment. We will analyse the text ‘Banjo and Ruby Red’ to identify the key events and write subject-verb-object sentences to match the beginning, middle and end of the narrative.

In Week 10, we will continue to complete activities that align with the concept that a half is 2 equal parts of a whole. They will learn to recognise 2 equal parts of a linear model, find and describe the halfway point in a length and investigate and form equal groups by sharing concrete materials.

Local Community Police Project. We have been gifted two surfboards to decorate as part of a local community art exhibition. If you are able to help with donations of shells, please deliver these to the school office.

Have a little search at home to pull together an outfit with true 70s style.
