Literacy   

This week in Literacy we will begin to look at the text  

‘The koala who could’ by Rachel Bright.   

We will make predictions about what we think the story might be about and explore the vocabulary used in the text, matching words to meanings.  

We will then express and understand the feelings of the character Kevin in the story through the use of a speaking and listening game called conscience alley.   

This week in maths we will be continuing to explore additive structures, including augmentation and reduction. (Addition and subtraction). 

We are going to use our first, then now structure to introduce ‘missing number’ problems. If we know any two numbers in the equation we can find the third. We will explore the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction.
