Reading

Starting our day with conversation and connecting with our friends during ‘Come Read with Me’. Thank you for reading with your child at home as often as you can. As we say to the children –  you get better at reading by reading 🙂

 

Word Study

This week we learnt about ‘at’ words and ‘ng’ words. The children then copied simple sentences using some new high frequency words. The children then drew a picture to reflect their comprehension of the sentence.

 

Play Investigations – following our interests and ideas with focus and enthusiasm.

 

Numeracy

During numeracy this week we have been learning about data – how to collect and record information.

Sorry we were so busy collecting data we forgot to take photos.

Maybe ask your child about how we collected date by rolling the dice – And they can show you their learning at home.

 

Technology

This week we talked about different clothes and how they have changed over the years. The children then designed their own t-shirt using colours, pictures and patterns they liked.

Book Making

This week we have been writing books together during interactive writing sessions during our mini lessons. These lesson explore how to construct a sentence and ways we can add words to our books.

We have begun our author study this week. We are learning about Pamela Allen. She is a popular Author who was born in New Zealand. Over the next few weeks we will read Pamela’s books and look and learn about how she has constructed the books she has written.

Some of her books are:

 

Rhyme Time

We learnt about ‘ed’ words and enjoyed the rhyme 5 little monkeys jumping on the bed. The children recorded a visual representation of the rhyme in their math books.
