Thinking is about using creative, critical, and metacognitive processes to make sense of information, experiences, and ideas. These processes can be applied to purposes such as developing understanding, making decisions, shaping actions, or constructing knowledge. Intellectual curiosity is at the heart of this competency.
Students who are competent thinkers and problem-solvers actively seek, use, and create knowledge. They reflect on their own learning, draw on personal knowledge and intuitions, ask questions, and challenge the basis of assumptions and perceptions.

We will work in small groups for three LA guided numeracy sessions each week. We will supplement the Stage 2 Numeracy Project material with Numicon activities to support our learning.
Alongside our small group lessons, we will use Maths Buddy online tasks, with Seesaw tasks, games, worksheets and book work for additional activities that support and enhance our learning.
We are learning to:
Number Strategies:
- Use a range of additive strategies and simple multiplicative strategies with whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and percentages.

We are learning to use, count and order numbers forwards and backwards to 20, know groupings with and within 5 and use materials to do simple addition and subtraction.
We will focus on one or two texts a week. The LA will read to the children and model decoding and comprehension strategies. We will move on to shared reading, where the text is big enough for the children to read along with the teacher. Finally, students will end the week with independent reading, where they apply the strategies they have learned over the week.
Ākonga will work in small, ability based groups. They will read 2 texts per week - reading each text at least twice in their reading workshops, along with reading the texts again at home.
Reading workshops will build on basic strategies for decoding and understanding text.

Building a growth mindset in all students through class discussions and use of the Dojo videos featuring Mojo to spark ideas. Also using personal reflections and goal setting to build in self-efficacy.
During this term the ākonga will create an imaginary island that becomes a framework for creating:
maps
currency
flags
plant sketches using magnifying glasses for capturing detail and plant descriptions detailing plant properties
myths and legends
social organisations
masks based on Papua New Guinea art work
ink printing of animals
3d animal creation in clay and painted
