Welcome to Term 4


Welcome to term 4 everyone. There is only nine weeks of school left for the year with lots of learning still to happen! This term we have our Athletics Day coming up along with Parent-Teacher interviews and reports.

Have a look at the Online Cloze Reading we are doing in class and children can practice at home as well. This is one way to support comprehension and understanding when reading a story. We use 5 strategies to support our learning and picking the right word

  1. Looking for capital letters because we know sentences start with a capital letter.
  2. Does the sentence make sense with the word we are using?
  3. Try all the words to see what word makes the most sense. 
  4. Read on past the blank space to help gain more meaning.
  5. Look for words in the text that have a relationship with a word in the list (garden -overgrown, window - broken, running - feet)
We are all looking forward to a great term.
