A Note for 1/2A Students and FamiliesThis web page is a way for students and families to stay connected to the awesome teaching and learning that happens in our classroom!
This page started as a way to continue learning during lockdown and remote learning at the start of Term 2 and we would like to continue using this page but in a different way! I will be posting pictures of student work as well as the current topics we are learning about in the classroom. I am also leaving many of the learning suggestions here from remote learning for families to continue to use at home. I hope you enjoy what you find here! From Amy :) |

What's going on in 1/2A!
Reading
Read for half an hour everyday. Reading can be to yourself, to someone else or another person reading to you!
Read the title together and have a look at the front cover. Using these clues, make a prediction - what do you think the story might be about?
While reading
After reading

- Watch a story online on Storybox LIbrary, the school has login information which I have sent you by email

While reading
- These strategies can help us while we read:
- Look at the first letter and get our lips ready to make that sound
- Stretch out the letters in the word slowly and think about what word it sounds like
- Look at the pictures and use the clues to help us work out the words
- Chunking the word
- Look for smaller words within the bigger word, for example ‘sand’ - ‘s-and’
- Reading for meaning - think about if what you read makes sense.
After reading
- Write or draw about the text. Think about:
- Retell the story using a story map or 3 pictures showing beginning, middle and end
- Connections you can make (text-to-self and text-to-text)
- Your favourite part, setting, character or illustration
- Any facts or information you learned
- Act out the story using toys, puppets or props
Speaking and Listening
Play some Speaking and Listening Games together. This is all about practising good listening skills like turn-taking, eye contact, facing the speaker, tuning into the speaker and staying on topic. You need someone to help you with these activities!
Articulate- one person draw a picture of something and has to describe to the other person so they can guess it.
Mystery Bag- put some objects in a hat or bag, take it in turns to feel inside the bag and describe what you can feel (is it hard, rough, squishy, plastic?) to guess the object.

Writing
Follow the Writing Process: Plan> Compose> Revise > Edit > Publish for any piece of writing you work on
Different types of writing you can have a go at:
Different types of writing you can have a go at:
- Recount
- Narrative
- A daily journal
- Fable
- Card
- Letter
- Shopping list
- List of your favourite things (foods, sports, TV shows, books etc)
NOTE- While spelling is an important aspect of writing, it is not always the focus. When you are writing try to focus on your ideas, thinking about what you're writing, why you're writing and following the writing process. You can practise editing and revising with an adult or older sibling to help you.
