In English:

– we focused on the letters and sounds u, b, and j.

– introduced three tricky words: has, one, his, and her

– explored words with the middle sounds a, i, o, and e

– tried to write words and sentences

In Book making:

– we tried adding words and lines into our narrative story books

In Maths, we continued our exploration of data collection.

In Science, children designed and built houses for a toy, children chose materials like glass, wood, plastic, and fabric to construct their miniature homes. This helped the students connect material properties to real-world applications.

Try at Home: Fun Learning Activities

To keep the learning going over the holidays, here are some engaging activities you can try at home with your child:

• Tricky Words Hunt: Look for our tricky words in books or magazines. See how many times you can spot them and practice using them in sentences.

• Word and Sound Practice: Talk about the letters and sounds we’ve learned (u, b, j) and words with middle sounds (a, i, o, e). For example, play a game where you find objects around the house that contain these sounds, like bug or pot.

• Data Collection Fun: Hold a family vote on something fun, like where to go for dinner or what game to play. Record the votes using tallies or a simple chart, then discuss the majority of the vote and compare the results. This is a great way to practice data collection skills!

• Explore Local Plants: During the holidays, take a walk outside and explore local plants. Encourage your child to observe their shapes, colors, and textures, and discuss how they might be similar to or different from the native flowers we studied.

See you in Term 4!
