Term 1 2010

Maths

Strand

This term we are looking at statistics.

We are learning to:

• Organise things into groups
• Talk about our choices
• Display our information in a graph
• Ask and answer questions about our information

Numeracy

We like to work in small groups to play maths games that help us learn.

We are learning to:

• Say our numbers forwards and backwards up to 20
• Put numbers in the right order
• Tell what number comes before and after
• Learn our basic facts to 10

We need to practice these things. You can help us by encouraging us to, count steps, predict what number comes next, play games with dice (eg, snakes & ladders).

Reading

We read everyday so we can become super readers!

Guided reading

 We read with the teacher and bring books home to practice. We practice looking at the sounds in the word, checking for picture clues, and re reading the sentence to help us with our reading.

Shared reading

We love reading together. We can use the glitter wand to help us point to the words.

We love listening to stories. This helps us to increase our vocabulary, and enjoy the messages in the stories. We like to listen to funny stories. Sometimes we make puppets or act the story out. This helps us to understand the story and be able to retell a story in our own way.
