2023 - SEMESTER 2 SNAPSHOT

Learning Area	Snapshot
English	Shared reading: Students in Lower Primary 1 & 2 are exploring and identifying what information about themselves they want to share with teachers next year. We are looking at different forms of poetry and learning about the different features of each kind. Lower Primary 1 & 2 are building their knowledge about the formats of different texts and learning questions and phrases to use when inquiring about our Project Based Learning and answering the driving question. Word Work: Lower Primary 1 & 2 are working with project related words from our ‘book of the week’ and one specific ‘communication’ word each week. Students are learning decoding strategies, participating in a range of phonics activities and guided reading to help build their sound and word knowledge when decoding new words. Writing: Lower Primary 1 & 2 are focusing on composing sentences relating to the ‘book of the week’ which we read daily. The students include experiences from their own lives in their writing. A variety of methods to display their developing knowledge is available.
Maths	Place Value: Each student is concentrating on the numbers relevant to their knowledge level. We are developing our knowledge of counting objects and saying the corresponding number. Positional Language: Exploring positioning of objects and matching them with the correct positional word, for example on, under, next to, and behind. Interpret Data Displays: Learning to display information using real objects and photographs and answering questions about the displayed information. Estimating and Calculating: Use informal language to describe the effects of adding to and taking away from a collection of objects.
Positive Behaviour for Learning	‘PBL’ is our school’s positive behaviour program. Students are learning all of the school’s behaviour expectations and what that looks and sounds like through explicit instruction and lessons each week. Students will develop their resilience and social-emotional learning through the following core values: Care, Courage and Cooperation. They will focus on learning regulation strategies with a core focus on Interception skills.
Humanities and Social Sciences (HASS)	Special Places: Students will represent the location of different places that have special meaning to their families on maps. These maps include world, Australian and Indigenous maps. They will use a variety of texts to inquire and learn about why they are special to their families. Students will compare objects and photographs from the past with those from the present and will inquire about how our communication and technology has changed over time.
Health and Physical Education (HPE)	Protective and Safe behaviours and moving our body: Students will learn how to be healthy and safe when at home, school and out in the community. They will recognise places in our school community where they can be active and how to play safely. Students will demonstrate fundamental movement skills in a variety of movement sequences, situations and challenges.
Project Based Learning	What Unique Information About Me Do I Want People To Know: This semester we are working on a project about ourselves. Firstly, we are focusing on how all families are different and investigate and explore the heritage of our families. Throughout the semester Lower Primary will identify the unique ways each individual student learns. They will add this information to a portfolio which they will present to their teachers for next year. The student’s portfolio will also include texts and photos showcasing the adapted resources used to achieve and enhance their learning.
