What’s Happening in Foundation Term 3

In Foundation this term we have been focusing on writing decodable sentences. This means we can hear and record the letters for the sounds we have learnt so far this year. We choose a picture from a Little Learners book each week and generate a sentence for the picture each day. We also include our Heart Words in these sentences.

Last week we looked at the book ‘At the Fun Run.’ Here are some of our sentences:

We ran to the hut and on to the dam.

The sun is hot, we are hot too.

At the end, mum and I had a hug. 

We have also been investigating and learning how to speak in full sentences. This will help us when we have to write independently. For a sentence to make sense, it must include a: Who, Do and What. ‘Who’ words tell us the person or animal we are talking about. ‘Do’ words tell us what the person or animal is doing. ‘What’ words tell us what the person or animal has or is using. For example ‘The boy is kicking the soccer ball’. It gives us the ‘Who’ (the boy), it tells us the ‘Do’ (is kicking) and the ‘What’ (a soccer ball).
