Welcome to Week 6, we also welcome in the new season of AUTUMN. Discussing months and seasons is a great way for students to learn about time, we begin each morning by looking at our monthly calendar and upcoming events.

This week we have focused on the sounds /d/ /g/ and /o/ and our focus has been writing on the lines and clear finger spaces.  Just a reminder when discussing and encouraging writing at home… Before becoming a conventional speller (like you) there are specific stages that a child will progress through; all important, all valid! Each and every student is on their own writing journeys and will be in different stages of the writing continuum pictured below.

Mr Terminell0 came into our class on Wednesday to read us a lovely story called ‘The Golden Rule’ By Cooper Ilene. It had a lovely and very important message…

You may like to think about how to follow the golden rule at school and home. The Golden Rule encourages us to treat others as we would like to be treated. For instance, most people appreciate it when others treat them with respect, kindness, and love. Logically, then, we should “do the same way” to others.—Luke 6:31

Technologies- In food technologies this week, we spoke about everyday foods. The students had to come up with 5 everyday foods and surveyed the class about which one was their favourite. They then graphed their results:
