The students have been focussing on sequencing. This week we looked at events that happen in our day. Students organised events in a day into morning, day and night.

English and Book Making

Today the children shared their books with a group of peers.  It was wonderful to see the children reading their books using their story telling voices.

Religion

This week we have been watching Holy Week presentations from all the classes in the school. Today we looked at Easter Sunday and the true meaning of Easter and the symbols associated with Easter. Students then chose one of the symbols of Easter and turned it into stained glass window artworks using oil pastels.

The children are learning the letters f and b this week.

The students also had fun creating frogs to reinforce the letter f and build on their fine motor skills.

The children have been learning to sing a days of the week song and recognise some of the words.  After reading one of our favourite’s. The Very Hungry Caterpillar, the children ordered the days and matched what the caterpillar ate on each day.

Maths Mini

The children created number flowers, showing the number and matching the petals.

Religion

The children have been preparing for Holy Week and Easter.  Today the children listened to how Jesus shared his last meal with his closest friends, the disciples. The children sequenced four main parts of the story into the correct order in preparation for our class to role play the story and present it to the whole school.

Health

This week we discussed trusted support networks, which is a group of people who they trust and can talk with if they have a problem. They are people who will listen to them, believe in them and will do something. It is also a group of people who they like to share good times with. Students thought about people who they could talk with when they get early warning signs.

Sport lesson with Mrs Cooymans

Each week the children participate in a specialist PE lesson with Mrs Cooymans. Today RMP were having a ball in the Hall.  Here a just a few photos from the end of the lesson.

The children visited the Mudla and Fish Farm today, observing the animals and plant life we have at HFCS. Upon returning to the classroom, the children discussed what plants need to live and they added more pictures and words to their plant diagram that was started last week.

Handwriting

It is wonderful to see the children gaining a multitude of skills in this area. All of the children have gained better pencil grip (tripod grip), control of pencil and are forming letters with more accuracy. The lesson also gets the children thinking about words and objects that begin with the focus letter or as James said “The letter u is in the middle of the word sun.”

The children made a lady bug after learning the letter l sound.

Maths Mini

The children continue to learn their number formation and connecting numerals to amounts. The children in this group were adding two numbers and recording using the = sign.

Maths

The students have been exploring ten frames over the past couple of weeks. Today the children counted how many squares were coloured and how many were not!

The children used the laptops on Tuesday to build their counting skills and use the track pad to navigate the number game.

Technologies

The children used their cutting and folding skills this week to create a paper bag puppet and finger puppets, They had lots of fun in being creative.

Religion

Mrs Norris read the story about Palm Sunday. The time when Jesus rode a donkey into the city of Jerusalem and was welcomed as the King.

If I met a King I would…

Aidan:I would feel happy.

Yom: I would say good afternoon.

Imogen: I would be excited if I met a King!

The students reflected on the story and the reason why people waved Palm leaves, and laid cloaks along the road for Jesus, shouting words such as Hosanna! and Blessed is the King. The students then drew their representation of Palm Sunday.

 

Book Making

Lovenne made a book called All About My House.
