AUSVELS is the Foundation to Year 10 curriculum Visit the
website for more information http://ausvels.vcaa.vic.edu.au
Literacy Reading Strengthen reading comprehension skills We work in
groups that target specific strategies and behaviours. Writing The
Writing Process stages are taught explicitly and The Writers
Notebook gives students experience with all writing genres. There
are opportunities for the study of syntax and the different parts
of speech in literacy blocks. Word study- Words your Way program
provides hands on opportunities to manipulate word features and
explore sound, pattern and meaning. Mathematics- Targeted maths
lessons to support and build on students current mathematical
knowledge of Number and Algebra, Measurement & Geometry and
Statistics & Probability. Open-ended tasks and investigations
that tie in with our Inquiry units. For example, in How we organise
ourselves, students engage in real life math problems through
authentic tasks such as organising, running and evaluating a
business. AUSVELS learning strands of History, Geography and
Economics are embedded in our Units of Inquiry. Well Being- Circle
Time to promote Emotional Literacy and Cyber safety
