This week in Literacy the students have identified the implied messages in explanation texts and justified their response with evidence. The students have continued to build and identify spelling patterns, including onset and rimes and syllables. The students’ personal spelling lists are continuing to grow.
ICT was imbedded in the Literacy focus to support the students’
understanding of writing conventions and also the issues around water.
The students identified areas of future research and learning
based on their comprehension of an explanation of the water cycle.
This week in Numeracy the students have presented the final stage of their My Mathematical Life Project. There were a great variety of presentation styles, from puppet shows and PowerPoint presentations to narrative stories and eye-catching posters. The presentations have been a fantastic example of the value this project has had in demonstrating that maths is an integral part of everyday life. It has also shown the students how their attitude towards maths can greatly impact on their learning, with many saying this project has helped to boost their feelings about their own mathematical ability.
The learning focus in Numeracy this week was "To be able to interpret problems in part-part-whole terms using addition and subtraction."
The students have been explicitly taught the 'part-part-whole' strategy to help them identify whether they are working to find the 'whole' or the 'part' within any given problem and to make the necessary links to addition and subtraction. The aim is also to highlight the narrative nature of mathematical problem solving.
