Thursday (Term 1: Week 4)

Welcome to Thursday and what a lovely day it will be; here is our learning for the day:

: A shout out to Aleer today for his awesome leadership and setting such a wonderful example of positive behaviour.

R1MP shared the book It’s Ok To Be Different:

It’s okay to need some help.
It’s okay to be a different color.
It’s okay to talk about your feelings.

Athian said that we all come from different places, some of us come from Africa.

R1JH shared the book Lonely Wasp written by Charles Fuge and beautifully illustrated by Vikki Churchill:

No one wants to be friends with Wasp, they are too scared of him, until Dragonfly comes along. Then Wasp scares off the terrible Toad and shows what true friends are for. A charming story with rich vivid illustrations about feeling left out, and making friends.

Sport R1MP

The children worked in pairs and groups developing their throwing and catching skills this morning. It was great to see the teamwork and the development of skills being demonstrated by all the children. Well done boys and girls!

Literacy
