Using language, symbols, and texts is about working with and making meaning of the codes in which knowledge is expressed. Languages and symbols are systems for representing and communicating information, experiences, and ideas. People use languages and symbols to produce texts of all kinds: written, oral/aural, and visual; informative and imaginative; informal and formal; mathematical, scientific, and technological.
Students who are competent users of language, symbols, and texts can interpret and use words, number, images, movement, metaphor, and technologies in a range of contexts. They recognise how choices of language, symbol, or text affect people’s understanding and the ways in which they respond to communications. They confidently use ICT (including, where appropriate, assistive technologies) to access and provide information and to communicate with others.
Level 3
Number Strategies AO1:
Use a range of additive and simple multiplicative strategies with whole numbers, fractions, decimals, & percentages.
Number Knowledge AO3:
Know how many tenths, tens, hundreds, and thousands are in whole numbers.
Number Knowledge AO4:
Know fractions and percentages in everyday use.
From 9:30am-2pm/2:30pm, the student will work one-on-one with a teacher aide. She will deliver a well-rounded curriculum programme. Our goal is to support the student with learning and guide them towards progressing. They will also be supported and encouraged to participate in whole-class activities.
This programme will cover:
Phonics- using Yolanda Soryl's programme.
Spelling- Sight words.
Reading- starting at the beginning and progressing through the colour wheel, reading chapter book.
The student will be working one on one with a teacher aide for literacy. The programme will commence in this order:
- Phonics
- Agility with Sound
- Reading (Yolanda Soryl's books)
- Writing (activity based on the book, or a fun writing activity)
- Handwriting
This will happen in the morning, 4x a week.

Level 3 - Stage 4, 5 and 6
Conduct an investigation using the statistical enquiry cycle
Gather, sort, display data to answer questions
Identifying patterns and trends
Communicating findings, using data displays.
Use Statistical Literacy
Communicate the findings and conclusions of a statistical investigation.
Comment on the effectiveness of the investigation and chosen procedure and displays.
Probability
Investigate simple situations that involve chance.
Moving from stage 6 to stage 7 in Numeracy Project
Students will take part in workshops three times a week, developing understanding and strategies for solving multiplication and division problems. Students will reinforce and consolidate learning with 3 independently directed sessions online at Mathsbuddy, selected to build on workshop learning and appropriate number knowledge/strategy practise.
Strategies we will be looking to develop include
Using standard place value to solve multiplication problems, (distributive property)
In the first two weeks, HB Storm will be creating comics for their literacy sessions. We are focusing on three-panel comics, that require a joke or unexpected twist to be revealed at the end. Students will draft a number of comics and choose their favourite/s to publish. Their published comics will be displayed in our Ruru art show.
