In Term 1 the academic focus has been on:

Maths – Learning strategies for addition and subtraction, location and direction, and shape.

Maths Masters – Being able to choose learning activities that will help us learn a Master.

Reading – Check for understanding when we read and how to monitor our own reading for accuracy and meaning. Skip the word and re-read.

Word Work – We are learning about sound and visual strategies to spell. We have studied double letter blends and now we are learning onset and rime.

Speaking and Listening – We do much of this through our reflections and Circle Time.
