Writing - Term 3

Braxton is learning to spell words by looking for them on word cards and on resources around the room. He is also attempting to spell other words by stretching them out and recording the sounds he can hear. 

Braxton, I enjoyed hearing you read the story you wrote about trying to beat Mum and Dad at soccer.

Reading - Term 3

Braxton is reading at Purple level 19

He is learning to retell a story in sequence and to include important details. His next learning step is to retell a story without teacher prompting.

 

Maths - Time

We have been learning to:

• sequence events within a day

• order the days of the week
• order the months in a year
• describe a duration as long or short ­
• ­name and ­directly compare the duration of two events
• ­­tell the time to the hour and half hour using analogue clocks

Before we talked about clock features, we all drew clocks using our prior knowledge.

Braxton, your next learning step is to correctly position the numbers 1 to 12 on a clock face.

Play Based Learning

Braxton, it's great to see you constructing and also practising your basketball skills during Discovery Time.

Braxton, you participated well in the learning about the sun and how it affects everything, including animals and also causes night and day.

Maths - strategy

I am able to solve addition problems by holding the biggest number in my head and then counting on, using my fingers to keep track.

My next learning step is to consistently solve subtraction problems by holding the biggest number in my head and then counting back, using my fingers to keep track.
