Unit of Inquiry
Unit 4: How the World Works

Transdisciplinary Theme An inquiry into the natural world and its laws; the interaction between the natural world (physical and
biological) and human societies; how humans use their understanding of scientific principles; the impact of scientific and
technological advances on society and on the environment.
Central Idea:
The earths natural cycle affects the things we do.

Lines of Inquiry:
Activities we do during day and night
Different seasons and how things change
Health and Safety as related to seasonal changes.
This week we focused on :
Discussing clothes to wear and things to do to keep us safe in different types of weather. We also looked at changes that
happen throughout the four seasons and created a tree art activity that shows the changes through the trees.

English

In Literacy this week we focus on:

Recapping the sight words we have learned, reading these words in print, writing them and saying them aloud. The children will
also go on a sight word hunt to find them in their environment.
We are also continuing with the skill of blending the sounds together to read and write CVC words.
The children will complete a writing activity in their squiggle books where they write and draw about their favourite part of KG1.

Math
In Numeracy this week we focus on
The children are learning all about Patterns and sorting in Maths. We will sort out everybody in the class according to different
categories. They will identify the missing parts of a pattern through a game. Also they will be looking at patterns that they must
continue and extend, and create their own patterns.

Home activities

Literacy: provide regular opportunities for your child to read at home. Also encourage them to draw pictures and write words
and sentences about these pictures using their sight words and sounds that they know.
Numeracy: look for patterns around the home. Provide your child with materials to create their own patterns e.g colours,
drawing materials, shapes, pasta, etc
UOI: Pick a day to look outside up at the sky and discuss how it looks, draw a picture. Then at night time do the same and
compare how the sky looks.
