What’s Happening in Week 10

Inquiry learning experiences: 

"How messages can be conveyed through stories" 

Students can engage in the following provocations:

• ·       Cultural Stories – Listening Posts, re-telling stories (through creating comic strips, picture books, story books) and recording and creating their own listening post, engaging in readers theatre plays, creating masks and costumes to embody the characters within the plays.
• ·       The Seed Story – Writing stories about seeds, researching science facts about plants and creating botanical drawings.
• ·        World Stories - Students are beginning to write reports on different countries they are interested in. As a group, the children developed a list of questions they would like answered about their countries, such as ‘How do you say ‘hello’ in my country’s language? What are some famous animals from my country?

Numeracy learning experiences: 
Addition and subtraction stories: Creating maths narratives and solving them by using number sentences (e.g. 10–6=4). Looking at the language used in maths.

We have been focusing on consolidating different ways to make 10 and 20 (e.g. 5 + 5 = 10, so does 8+2) and consolidating counting on from the higher number (e.g. 10, 11, 12, 13…)

Literacy learning experiences: 

• ·        Guided Reading
• ·        Literature Study – Cultural stories: Focus Aesop fables
• ·        Independent Literature Study – Engaging in Reading Response experiences
