On Tuesday, a missing iPad prevented the usual blog update. Mr Coad’s heart is now beating at a regular rhythm, as the said laptop has been retrieved with all photos accounted for!

Following ‘come read with me’ in the morning, students engaged with literacy provocations through play. Some of those moments were captured and can be seen in the photos below:

You may have noticed a Pp theme throughout many of the provocations. Students were able to express their learning through their 100 languages.

Accompanied by our ELC students during library, the Village read an amazing dual language children’s book, ‘Ngana Ngai? Who Am I?’, which introduces native animals and the Kaurna language. Both teachers and students were able to have a go at expressing many of the indigenous words.

Students continued on with their learning through play provocations following library and were also able to record their reflections regarding the letter P.

During this time, some budding photographers, Adum and Kahlil captured some special moments, while practicing their camera skills.

The students were able to role play a story about the sun and the wind. The moral of the story being that a smiling warm, kind and giving attitude often results in positive outcomes. Here are some student comments about the role play:

Jacob – the sun and the wind were fighting.

Yasha- they were arguing

Viraj – the wind blew the boys jacket.

Sara – Held onto his jacket

Kiet – the sun came out from behind the cloud

Ishpreet – the sun was smiling bright and it came from behind the cloud.

Sonnie – the sun was too hot and the jacket was for winter

The sun was happy

Yasha- sun was warm

Jacob – it got happier and brighter

Kahlil – the wind went away
