We begun our week with: Harmony Day

Everyone belongs – Together we are a team – which is our focus every day in R MR and R PN

We enjoyed sharing stories, a picnic lunch, making badges, online assembly and wearing orange and our cultural dress.

Reading

The importance of reading every day at school and at home:

The children get to know the sounds, rhythms and words used in different ways.
Children think about feelings of characters and ideas in books. This helps them understand their world.
Sharing books with others builds positive interactions.

Literacy

Word study focus:

Letter formation
Sound association
Word building
Sentences and creating meaning
Visual representation
Fine motor skills

This week our focus was the letter ‘Ee’ and the digraph – ck.

Book Making

The children were busy being authors on Wednesday and Thursday morning, adding words and detailed illustrations to their books.

Science

This week we explored the parts of a plant. Then we drew a labelled diagram.

HASS

During HASS we shared the story “Just the way we are” we talked about our families all being different and drew a picture of our families.

Technology

During technology we made puppets using paper bags. The children used paper to add ears, arms, legs, whiskers, eyes and tails. Wonderful creativity was demonstrated by all.
