Welcome to week 4. This week we worked on the digraphs /ch/, /ng/ and /wh/. We are very proud of the improvements we are seeing in the student’s handwriting and stamina with work completion. Check out these three examples of the progress made from term 1 to term 2! Amazing effort to all!
Some great reading is happening at home too. We know that regular reading at home can…
- Build concentration
- Improve memory
- Teach children about the world
- Develop empathy
- Expand vocabulary
- Boost critical thinking
- Help build positive self-image
- Enhance performance in school
Congratulations to Grace for reaching 100 nights of reading!
This week we also continued our learning about rights and responsibilities. We viewed the story ‘Willy and High’ by Anthony Browne and had a great discussion about respectful relationships. You may like to view and discuss the book at home too (watch in link below)! The students then drew a picture of a positive relationship they have and the rights and responsibilities that are integral to the relationship.
Technologies- This week for technologies, the students created the masks that they designed last week. Here is what they came up with:
ART
Today we used what we have been learning about LINES, to create crazy hair pictures of Mr Norris and Mrs A
