The children were very excited to share their holiday stories this week. We welcome Cooper to our class who started with us on Monday.

In Literacy, we are reviewing previously learnt letter names/sounds, introduced two new heart words ‘is’ and ‘was’ and looked at onset and rime patterns. This learning can be reinforced through Weeks 1 & 2 of the ‘Take Home’ sheet sent home this week.

In Numeracy, we reviewed numbers 1-20, writing number to 10, representing numbers on a number line and comparing numbers to 10; looking specifically at different collection of objects and working out which group has more or fewer items.

In Science, we explored different objects ie. liquids, fabrics, soft and hard items and elasticity and used our words to describe how the object looks, feels and behaves.

In Technology/Arts, we looked at what the Olympic games/Paralympic games are, in reference to the Paris games commencing this weekend. The children enjoyed representing their favourite sport through drawing.

In Religion, we explored different prayers and Bible stories depicting the love that God and Jesus has for us all and how we can be more like them.

In HASS, we looked at features of a familiar place. We headed to the playground using the following prompts: What features do you see? What features do you touch, what features do you smell? What features do you hear?.

In Health, we are continuing our learning around the Child Protection Curriculum, particularly focused on body awareness.
