Primary 4WL well done for a busy and successful week of learning! We have enjoyed lots of different opportunities across the curriculum and finding out more about our topic, Titanic.
Here is a summary of our learning across the week:
Literacy–
We have been learning to-
Spell words with a ‘wr’ pattern correctly
Use accurate spelling of ‘wr’ words within a context
Share our class novel, thoughts and opinions
Review our class novel by writing a book review
Recap our understanding of our reading by answering different questions in our class novel, reading group books and texts in class
Look for information in a text and share where we can find the information using the layout and organisation of the text for example the title and an index
Find out about what a letter is, what it looks like and how it is structured and organised
Look at examples of letters and write our own examples of a letter, using the correct layout and languages
Write and redraft a good copy of a letter, using self-checking skills and careful presentation
Work cooperatively with our new table groups and new learning pairs on challenges
Use correct spelling and word contexts to fill passages (cloze procedure)
Look carefully at a glossary text and answer different questions about it
Next week our Spelling rule will be-
L.I. We are learning to spell words with a silent ‘k’ pattern.

Silent ‘k’ followed by ‘n’ – kn
