Our Learning this term
Inquiry learning: Our focus this term is Light and Colour. We will be talking and sharing ideas about light and colour. We will also observe, record our observations and talk about our observations using evidence. As a part of our inquiry, the Takahe team will explore light and colour activities in the hall at the Takahe Light Festival on 24 November from 1.45pm -2.45pm.
Literacy
Oral Language: Our focus is on learning new vocabulary for our Inquiry learning.
Written Language: We will be learning to start our sentences using interesting words and write using words from our word wall. We will be re-reading our sentences to check they make sense. Students will also be focusing on including descriptive words and punctuation into their sentences.
Reading: The students will be reading everyday at school. They will come home with reading books, word lists and some students will have Jolly Phonics to practise everyday.
Mathematics
Numeracy: Our focus this term is on basic knowledge building. We will use Mathematics language to talk about the strategies we are learning to use to solve Mathematical problems.

Our focus this term is Measurement of Time, left and right turns, clockwise and anti clockwise directions in Geometry.
