We will be working on Yr 4 WordLab Spelling 4x per week. This program is for students who have completed the Yolanda Soryl Phonics program successfully.

We will be:
- Learning a new spelling pattern each week
- Looking at the meaning of words
- Practicing this spelling pattern by completing exercises in our books
- Learning a new 'Our Word' each week and completing a word study of this word

We will do WordLab once a week and students will complete their word study as a must do follow up task.

Using Yolanda Soryl's Phonics Programme children learn:
Learn how to hear, read and write longer vowel phonemes. (vowel digraphs and trigraphs)

Writing words and sentences using these skills.

4 times per week.

There will be a stage 7 Assessment during the term.

4 x weekly lessons based on the Yolanda Soryl Phonics program for stage 6 where students will learn middle long vowel sounds.

We will be working on number knowledge and strategies at mid to late stage 4, (Advanced Counting/counting on).

We will be working on number knowledge and strategies at early stage 4, (Advanced Counting/counting on).

Working at late stage 3 of the Numeracy Project: moving from counting from one by imaging to Advanced Counting.

This term Nadine and Suze's writers will be writing following the Storyline process (more information can be found here: http://www.storyline-scotland.com/what-is-storyline-2/).

In Term 4 all some children will choose to do an individual Inquiry. Please see individual children's goals for specific inquiries, linked to specific learning areas.

It is expected that akonga will all complete and present an inquiry of their choice, using a range of mediums and formats.
Children will make regular reflections to share their planning and learning each week.

Children will produce something that they are able to share with others as evidence of the learning they have directed and be able to discuss the learning that is happening.

This term we will be focussing on numbers to 20 using the Numicon level 1 books. We are working at Stage 2.

This term we will begin to understand how the Numicon system and resources work, recognise the numerals 0-9 and complete the Numicon Firm Foundations Programme.
