Speaking and ListeningEvery day students are engaged in a range of speaking activities with the focus on looking at the person you are speaking to and using appropriate volume, pace and clarity
![Page 17: Foundation Parent Session New Gisborne Primary School](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062704/556105d8d8b42a0e408b5a9b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Writing• Students have the opportunity to write everyday.• Students will write most confidently about what they know
- such as reflecting on personal experiences or making lists. • Formal Guided Writing sessions assist students to learn the
mechanics of writing – recording sounds as letters, learning the concepts of print such as left to right, spaces between words and basic punctuation.
• Spelling
![Page 18: Foundation Parent Session New Gisborne Primary School](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062704/556105d8d8b42a0e408b5a9b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Over the course of the average week students may take part in a range of writing activities such as:
•Guided writing
•Handwriting
•Reflective or journal writing
•Creative writing
![Page 19: Foundation Parent Session New Gisborne Primary School](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062704/556105d8d8b42a0e408b5a9b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
SPELLING
• ‘Have a go’ writing is very important for early writers. Students need LOTS of practice learning the written symbols.
• As students build their skills they will have their attention drawn to words they are using frequently so they can learn common letter patterns and correct spelling of common words.
• Frequently used words are kept in books and on charts for reference.
• When students are ready they are taught formal spelling strategies such as ‘taking a mind photo’, stretching out the word to hear the sounds, checking lists and referring to previous stories.

Mathamatics At NGPS, like Literacy, we have a whole school approach to Mathematics. AusVels is the curriculum framework that all schools across the state use.
Our approach is based on understanding, problem solving and hands on activities. Our school is working with a leading Maths consultant, Michael Ymer to further develop this approach.
A save the date for your diary is Wednesday 23 April – Michael Ymer will be conducting a Parent Information Session

You Can Do It
We reinforce our ‘You Can Do It’ program, especially ‘Resilience’ throughout our day at school. It is important to teach the children to bounce back from minor set backs and not let the little things upset us. We can do this by teaching the children independence, such as letting them carry, pack and unpack their own bags.
