Reading

This term in reading students will continue to develop their comprehension skills (predicting, summarising, inferring, making connections, evaluating, questioning and clarifying). Students will read their home reading books daily and record comments in their reading record, using the stems on the inside cover. On Wednesday we will be having class reading assemblies, where students and teachers will read stories and discuss stories read to them. Whole class reading will be on Fridays.

Maths

Number – decimals

Measurement – money and time

Statistics

Geometry – properties of shapes, position and direction

Science

Investigating sound - In this unit of learning children will investigate how sounds are made. They will identify how sounds are made, associating some of them with something vibrating and recognise that vibrations from sounds travel through a medium to the ear. They will investigate different patterns between the pitch of a sound and features of the object that produce it. They will find patterns between the volume of a sound and the strength of the vibrations that produce it as well as recognise that sounds get fainter as the distance from the sound source increases.
