ADVENT week 1

Advent is a time for waiting in hope for Jesus to come into our lives. There are 4 weeks in the season of Advent.

We use an Advent wreathe with 4 candles to help us countdown to Christmas.

 

During the week we made our own wreathes.  We reflected with  The candle burning Song. The first candle  is one of Hope.

 

 

These are the beautiful Wreathes the children made.

 

 

Living things finished diorama’s!

Hi families,

Over the past few weeks we have been working hard on our  living things diorama’s and they are finally finished!

We are so proud of the children’s creativity and resilience to complete them.

Telling the time

Hi Families,

Yesterday in maths we used the clocks to practice telling the time. We discovered that the big hand points to the six when it is a half past time!

Books

Hi Families,

This week we have returned all library books. If your child has some of their own books at home, we encourage students to bring them into school for reading time. Students can bring their own books in their black reader bags. 

Thanks, Maria & Claudia

Living Things Diorama’s

Hi Families,

Today we continued making our living things diorama’s. We are almost finished and will be posting pictures of our work soon!

If you are learning from home today, try using an old shoe box to create a diorama for a new living thing.

Numeracy: Making 10

Hi Families,

Today in numeracy we learnt about the different ways to make 10. We used two different colour flip tiles to discover number sums that add up to 10.

If you are learning from home today, write down the different number sums that add up to 10. You can use counters or buttons to help you!

Example: 4+6= 10

Mindfulness Activities

Mindfulness Activities

Dear families,

As a class every afternoon we use mindfulness as a time to calm down and breathe. All mindfulness activities are of course optional. We hope they help your child to take a break and relax during this challenging time.

While you listen to the meditation music you may like to find a quiet space to:
– Colour in
– Draw
– Lay down and relax
– Answer some of these gratitude questions:
