Dear RFL Families,

I hope you’re all doing well! I wanted to apologise for not being with you last week—Term 1, Week 9—as I was unwell and had to take some time to recover. I missed being with your amazing children and appreciate your patience while I was out. I’ve put together a little update on what the class explored during that time so you can talk about it with your little ones at home.

In English, they focused on the letter “a” and its sound, practicing how to write it and working on writing their names. They also read Farmer John’s Tractor by Sally Sutton. In book making, the focus was on keeping characters consistent—like having them wear the same clothes across pages.

For math, they learned about patterns (something that repeats) and tried making their own using actions, shapes, or toys.

In art, they experimented with drawing different kinds of lines—wavy, zig-zag, straight

In science, they continued exploring the animals at MUDLA, learning about their needs and habitats.

In health, the discussion was about things they can do, things they’re learning to do, and keeping a good mindset about it all.

In religion, they talked about the Last Supper, reflecting on its meaning.

Thank you for your understanding while I was away—I’m looking forward to being back with the class soon.
