Good morning everyone and welcome to a beautiful Thursday.
Here is our learning for the day:
- Congratulations to Liam and Harjas who worked as a team and carried the big black box of lunch orders back to class so carefully!

Shared Reading/Phonics/Handwriting
We shared a text called ‘The Slithering Snake’ and what wonderful letter spotters our students were. In fact, many children were eating their recess at this time and were adeptly spotting the letter s on packets and drink containers. For example, Nicole found ‘Sea Salt’ on her chip packet and Liam found ‘Cheese and Crackers‘.
The children did some oral sound blending for words containing the letter s, matching kinaesthetic actions when they heard the sound /s/. They then practised writing the letter s in their handwriting books.
