Welcome to Week 3!

On Thursday 22nd August in Week 5, RIA, RCC & 5KH will be hosting the Assembly. All families are invited to attend. This is Book week so the children will come dressed in their book character costumes on that day also. A parade of costumes will commence straight after the Assembly.

In Literacy, we have started to look at the digraphs (two letters together that represent one sound) ‘ck’ and ‘ff’. We have blended and segmented words like pick, sick, off and puff. We also collaboratively constructed sentences using some of these words. Please refer to the Weeks 3 and 4 of the take home sheet for more clarification.

In Numeracy, we have continued exploring numbers to 20 including using a number line in identifying ‘one more’ and ‘one less’ and comparing and ordering numbers to 20. The children enjoyed making their 1-20 caterpillar.

In Religion, we continued looking at stories of God’s love. We viewed the story ‘The Prodigal Son’ and the children were asked questions like, ‘How did God show love in the story?’, and ‘How did the characters feel God’s love?’.

In HASS, we explored ways of representing features of place through shapes and colour. We looked at images of places from a ‘birds eye view’ and looked at the different features ie. boundaries, shapes, location etc.

In Art and Technology, the children explored ways of constructing their own Olympic Arenas. Quite a few children decided to use building blocks and other items to make Arenas for their dinosaurs to explore – very creative!

In Science, we continued exploring how objects are made of different materials. We viewed ‘What’s Behind the Bush?’ and the children needed to guess the mystery item based on the description. The children then drew the items that they found.
