Room 2 will now begin to work on addition. P.2s will consolidate addition up to 10 and then beyond and P.1s will continue on formation of numbers and early addition.
LITERACY
Room 2 have been working very hard on their initial sounds. They do this in lots of different ways, shave foam, sand, finger painting, play-doh and glitter as well as using magnetic boards.
I am making words with letters and then I write them. (Kyle)
Officer Bear is helping me to read. (Ella)
We use Officer Bear to point to our words when we are reading. (Luke)
Next term within Literacy P.1s will continue to work on their initial sounds and P.2s will consolidate previous learning of their initial sounds. All children will be encouraged to use their knowledge of sound within their reading and writing.
