Hello RTH & RLY Families,

Welcome to the end of Week 8, here’s a quick recap of our week…

 

Literacy:

In word study this week we reflected on the ‘ng’ digraph and then moved on to ‘wh’, figuring out different words that involve these digraphs, words that rhyme with these digraphs and implementing words with these digraphs into sentences. In bookmaking, we continued with our new spotlight of ‘information texts’, this involved talking about different topics, the different types of words we can use to share information and implementing double page spreads.

 

Mathematics:

We continued with our part-whole operations this week, by connecting our addition and subtraction knowledge with different materials. This looked like adding and subtracting with number lines, number bonds, ten frames and through art. We concluded the week with an assessment of this unit of work and next week we will be moving on to shapes!

 

Health:

In health this week we reflected on identifying different parts of our body and using the correct terms to name them. This may spark a conversation at home so please feel free to come speak to us if you have any questions.

Religion:

In religion this week we finished an assessment on our understanding of celebrations within the Catholic Church.

HaSS/Tech/Arts:

In HaSS we continued our assessment by drawing a Birds Eye view map of Log Park. We then added in and designed our own nature play ideas in the area and then turned these plans into a 3D model – they looked amazing and it was so much fun!

Science:

In science this week we looked at magnetic materials and tested our magnets against different materials.

 

REMINDERS

 

Reading at home:

Please don’t feel pressured to read with your children at home as we would like this to be a fun experience for you both however, if you are able to, it would support your children’s learning greatly if you could find some time to enjoy a picture book together or work on their readers.

 

Nuts:

We have children with anaphylaxis in our classrooms and Nutella poses a danger to their health. We are strictly a nut free environment so please be mindful of this when packing lunch boxes.
