Inquiry learning experiences:
"How messages can be conveyed through stories"

Students can engage in the following provocations:

· World Stories – Provoking the idea that ‘every family has a story’ through reading books about families and participating in tasks which explore similarities and differences in families. Together, the children created interview questions to interview a family member about a family story or family history.

· Movie Making – We will continue with the filming of the movie in the media studio. We will also continue to explore making of music and sound effects for the movie as well as creating a making of documentary.

· Cultural Stories – Engaging in listening to a new set of cultural stories and re-telling these stories through popsicle stick puppets and sock puppets.

· Mapping – Completing 3D bedrooms and super hero rooms, using recyclable material as well as writing descriptions of their bedrooms. Creating a neighbourhood map.

Numeracy learning experiences:
· Part/part/whole strategy – understanding that addition and subtraction problems can be solved through the use of part/part/whole strategy.

· Mapping skills – giving and following directions to a familiar place in the Year 1 neighbourhood. Exploring compass directions. Introducing directional languages such as ‘under’, ‘forward’, ‘clockwise’, ‘anticlockwise’, ‘left’ and ‘right’, giving and following directions and writing stories which involve directions.
