Niina marni mid year children and families and welcome to the end of week 7!
Only two more weeks until the Christmas holidays! We are so proud of how far they have all come and look forward to spending the last three weeks together, and get ready to enjoy some fun Christmas celebrations.
This week we have taken the time to re-visit learning covered this semester as a way of supporting our students and helping them to consolidate and develop a deeper understanding. This included culmination of all phonemes and graphemes from this term, exploring rhyme and syllables and continuing on with our book making in which we have added characters, borders and movement lines, inspired through our Pamela Allen author study.
For mathematics we re-visited subitising, counting collections using 1:1 correspondence, exploring numbers and quantifying using a variety of concrete materials.
During our play investigations the children have thoroughly enjoyed using their creativity whilst painting, drawing and making using different manipulatives. We have also started making Christmas decorations for our beautiful class Christmas tree this week. Over the next two weeks we are looking forward to engaging in more Christmas craft, music and stories.
This week was our last borrowing week. Students will return their library books on Friday week 8. There will be no library lessons during week 8 and 9.
Just a quick reminder that we eat fruit at 9.40am, recess at 10.40am and lunch at 12.30pm each day. The children are also welcome to eat yoghurt during fruit time so please feel free to pack this. Also, there are no toys allowed in the classroom or at school. We know it can be tricky to ensure none have made their way into backpacks but please be mindful that if they are brought in they will be put away and returned to parents at the end of the day. This helps to stop issues that arise when they are brought in and others may want to play with them or they get lost. We thank you for your cooperation with this :).
Nature Play!
On Friday we had Nature Play SA come for an incursion! We built cubbies, mixed potions and enjoyed our time in nature!
See you all next week,
Ms. Yeend, Mrs. McGlone and Mrs. A.
