Word Study- This week, the letter sounds we focused on were the letters Jj and Vv. We spoke about many different words beginning with these sounds and practised writing the letters and words beginning with the sounds. We also are starting to write more sentences this term, during our word study time. This will help the students recognise to read and write more high frequency words and to put letters together to make words. They did a wonderful job doing this for the first time this week.

Mathematics- This week for mathematics, we have been focusing on 2D shapes. For this activity, the students had to colour in the triangles, circles, squares and rectangles, a particular colour. Underneath the picture the students drew a picture of each of the shapes and recorded how many of each shape were in the picture.

 

Science- For science this term, our learning intention is that objects are made of materials that have observable properties. This week, we had an introduction to this concept. The students had to draw any object and place it under the correct heading of what it is made from.

Play investigations-

We wish all the mums a very happy Mother’s Day for Sunday.

Have a great weekend and we will see you next week.
