In Year 5/6 We Are Learning To....
READING: Knowing how words work. Our reading strategy is understanding how words are used in text to give meaning to texts. Our skills we will be working on are as follows: Using knowledge of words to help me read and make meaning. Use clues in the text to help me guess what a word means. Interpret figurative language to understand the text.
WRITING: We are writing transactional pieces of writing to friends and family. We will write holiday cards, postcards and holiday letters. Students will draft and practice adding in questions into their writing to gain information from the recipient of their writing.
UNIT OF STUDY: Celebrations around us.
We are investigating the celebrations in the world around us. We will be looking at a range of different cultures, their backgrounds and what they celebrate. This will lead us into Christmas and how people in our community celebrate the holidays.
E-Learning: We are using a range of publishing tools to develop transactional writing pieces, such as cards, invitations and other texts. We are looking at investigating other programs other than publisher to create our pieces.
