Room 19 - Term 2 2025 Program Overview

Welcome to Term 2 in Room 19! We are excited for a term packed with engaging learning experiences across Mathematics,English Literacy and Pathway Learning. Here’s an outline of what we’ll be exploring:

Mathematics-Unlock Your Child’s Potential with Our Exciting Term Plan!

Number and Algebra

  • Multiplication and Division with Powers of 10:

    • Multiply and divide numbers by 10 and 100 to create decimals and whole numbers (e.g., 1.3 × 10 = 13).

  • Addition and Subtraction with Decimals:

    • Add and subtract whole numbers and decimals to two decimal places (e.g., 250.11 + 135.29 = 385.4).

  • Rounding Decimals:

    • Round tenths and hundredths to the nearest whole number or to one decimal place.

  • Number Sentences:

    • Form and solve true or false number sentences and open number sentences using the equals (=), not equal (≠), greater than (>), and less than (<) symbols.

Fractions, Decimals, and Percentages

  • Identify, read, write, represent, compare, order, and convert fractions, decimals (to two decimal places), and related percentages.

  • Compare and order fractions with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, or 100, and identify when two fractions are equivalent.

  • Represent fractions in their simplest form.

  • Convert between mixed numbers and improper fractions.

  • Find fractions and percentages of whole numbers where the answer is a whole number (e.g., 3/8 of 48, 30% of $150).

  • Identify the whole set from a fractional part of a set.

  • Add and subtract fractions with the same or related denominators (e.g., 1/4 + 1/8).

Geometry – Position and Direction

  • Interpret and create grid references and use simple scales on maps.

  • Use directional language including:

    • The four main compass points (North, South, East, West)

    • Turns measured in degrees

    • Distances measured in metres (m) and kilometres (km)

    • To describe and locate positions and pathways.

Statistics

  • Use the PPDAC cycle (Problem, Plan, Data, Analysis, Conclusion) to conduct investigations in:

    • Summary

    • Comparison

    • Time-series situations

  • Pose questions and plan data collection while considering:

    • Ethical practices

    • Reliability

    • Minimising error

    • Identifying variables

  • Analyse data, make and improve statements using data from two or more sources.

  • Explain and justify findings to others.

  • Recognise and address biased survey questions and misleading information or statements.

    English Literacy Learning Overview – Term 2, 2025

    The Code (Spelling, Morphology, and Grammar)

    • Review selected Year 5 spelling elements retaught in Term 1.

    • Teach List 67: Prefixes that indicate numbers (e.g., uni-, bi-, tri-).

    • Teach List 53: Suffixes –sion, –tion, –cion.

    • Reteach and extend List 52: The -y rule – when to keep or change the y.

    • Teach apostrophes for possession (e.g., The students' books were left in the classroom).

    Reading and Oral Language

    • Decode multi-syllable words using knowledge of phonics, morphology, and syllable patterns.

    • Build reading stamina by engaging with longer texts independently.

    • Participate in discussions about texts, identifying what makes books interesting and sharing personal responses.

    • Read year-level texts with accuracy, expression, and fluency at a natural pace appropriate for Year 6.

    • Adjust reading speed depending on the complexity of the text and summarise how main ideas are developed through key details.

    • Visualise and create mental images to support comprehension.

    • Explore figurative and literal language used to create meaning and effect.

    • Use clues from the text and prior knowledge to make inferences and justify interpretations with evidence.

    • Compare texts across cultures, identifying similarities, differences, values, and traditions that shape meaning.

    • Analyse how language and visual features serve different purposes (e.g., storytelling vs. informing).

    • Identify perspectives and world views in texts and discuss what may be left out or misrepresented.

    • Make connections between texts and across subjects, comparing interpretations with peers to understand multiple viewpoints.

    Writing and Language Use

    Sentence Structure and Grammar:

    • Expand sentences using adverbial phrases and transitional words (e.g., In addition, On a sunny day).

    • Use punctuation correctly in complex sentences, including commas, apostrophes, and speech marks.

    • Develop clarity and cohesion by using specific connectives and transition phrases to show contrast, addition, and cause.

    Figurative Language and Word Choice:

    • Incorporate similes, metaphors, and idioms to enhance description and engage the reader.

    • Reflect on how word choices influence the tone and connection with the audience.

    Writing for Purpose:

    • Choose appropriate genre, tone, and language style (formal/informal) for different writing tasks.

    • Develop characters through actions and feelings; describe settings using sensory details; use time shifts to structure narratives.

    • Inform through well-structured explanations, definitions, and diagrams.

    • Persuade using emotive language, clear arguments, and logical paragraph organisation.

    • Create digital texts by combining writing with visuals, formatting, and audio enhancements.

    Organisation and Editing:

    • Structure paragraphs clearly, linking ideas across sections for cohesion.

    • Revise and refine writing at word, sentence, and paragraph levels for clarity and engagement.

    • Use headings and subheadings to organise ideas logically.

    • Identify and correct grammatical or meaning errors independently.

    Keyboarding and Handwriting

    • Maintain a comfortable writing posture during handwriting and typing.

    • Develop accuracy and speed in keyboarding using correct finger placement.

    • Use the shift key and type punctuation correctly (e.g., quotation marks, commas).

    • Compose sentences and short paragraphs digitally with increasing accuracy and fluency.
