Dear RCC students and families, welcome to our weekly blog!

In English, we introduced consonant doublet Floss rule: double ‘s’ at the end of a one syllable word after a short vowel.

The children read daily, each week the students were engaged with a shared text together with a reading focus.

Intentional teaching focus during shared reading:

• What is the title?
• Who are the characters?
• Do you like the story? -why
• Punctuation, capital letters
• Highlight – crafting techniques – for example speech bubbles, big and bold
• How does the story make you feel?
• What information is the book telling us?
• Predicting rhyme while reading.
• What happened in the story?
• Noticing the lay out of the book.

In Book making, children continued to work on their Information books.

They

• Chose a topic
• Worked on Organisation – headings or titles
• Introduced to Fact boxes, accurate colour and words on diagrams.

We had ‘Book Tasting’ experience this week! The children absolutely loved the environment, they were excited to participate! They enjoyed reading a book, finding words, and writing them down.

In Maths, children learned to compare and order numbers from 0-120.

In Health, students developed the understanding of Body Privacy and Personal Boundaries. They identified the actions that keep them safe and healthy. They also recognised safe and unsafe situations and how to respond.

In Religious education, Children learned that The Bible is a sacred text for Christians. They are able to understand that the Bible contains stories about God, Jesus and the way of life as well as the importance of the Bible.

in HASS, children revisited the concepts from last week:  birds eye view, identifying and categorising features of a place through colour, shapes and boundaries.
