Week 3, Term 4

This week is a short week so the children will have no homework other than to read their school book each night.  There will be no reading book on Wednesday due to Softball coaching.

This week we are learning...
Maths
This week we are learning to name and order fractions.  Children who have maths in Room 17 are learning to skip count.

Reading
This is our last week learning about Authors Purpose.  We are still all working on retelling the story using "I think that means..."

Writing
This week we continue our work on our narrative fairytales.   This week we will be editing our work in order to publish it.  This means we will check our spelling and punctuation, and look at how we can improve our draft.
Our Writers Workshop topics are:

• Using details to describe the setting.
• Writing low down on the food chain.
• Making a diagram.
• Getting your characters talking.

Topic
This week in topic we will begin gathering our information and reworking it into our own words.  We will also be doing some work in our camp booklets.
