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.

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 imaging, counting on and counting back as well as using skip counting to solve repeated addition problems.

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.
