PLT 4 Secondary

​Phonics:   Middle secondary are concentrating on the characteristic sounds of letters, letter groups and syllables to start and/or improve pronunciation of words, reading skills, writing skills and communication.

This semester we will be covering Poetry as a writing style and the unit overview is: The World according to me – a personal collection of poetry.  Middle Secondary Cohort will be working on a project to answer the following driving question: How can I show the world who I am?

​Shared Reading: Our cohort will be building their knowledge about the differing formats of poetry, by listening to and reading stories covering the concepts of rhyme and self-identity​​

Writing: The cohort is focusing on varied writing formats through the lens of poetry. Students will be exposed to many familiar and unfamiliar nursery rhymes and poems and create their own by changing and or adding words that are relevant and link to their own self identities and how they see the world around them. A variety of methods to display their developing knowledge will be available.​​

Students will be learning multiple concepts through exploration and be able to achieve the following goals:

• Identify areas where they can be active and how the body reacts to different physical activities.
• Demonstrate positive ways to interact with others.

Select and apply strategies to keep themselves healthy and safe and are able to ask for help with tasks or problems.
