Literacy The phonics focus in literacy during Weeks 5 and 6 continues to be initial consonant blends. A blend is... "two consonants that blend together, you hear both sounds". We have already taught L Blends: bl, cl, fl, gl, pl, sl And this week we began teaching R Blends: br, cr, fr,  (Week 6)   dr, tr, pr, dr We are currently learning the blue set of sight words. Our Big Write topic for Week 6 is WA Day .  Numeracy Our focus in numeracy currently is on addition number stories up to the value of 5. An example of this is: if I had 1 blue pencil and 4 red pencils, how many pencils do I have altogether? Children can then represent this number story with a number bond. Below is a link for some maths games that could be played at home with your child. https://www.education.wa.edu.au/documents/43634991/0/PRE_PRIMARY_NUMBERS_IDEAS.pdf/3fea4b75-4949-597e-5dd4-c82c3e6caaa0 Incursion Permission Please ...
