Today in RSA and RKS we had a busy day getting the class ready for the end of the year. To begin the day, we started with eating our brain food before our buddies came over to help make Christmas cards.

After recess, we had religion where we finished off the Christmas story.

After lunch, we had mindfulness and then we had indoor/outdoor play.

This will be my last post for this semester and what a semester we have had. I’ve enjoyed watching all the students learn and grow in the short period I have been with them. My favourite part of this year was when we celebrated the class doing green choices with a green party. It was amazing to see how much the students enjoyed creating things and building things with green items.

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, hope all the best for each student’s new class and I hope to see everyone’s happy faces out in the yard in the new year.

Hi everyone and welcome to a fantastic sunny day in RKS and RSA. In the morning session students explored some Christmas activates where the students created Christmas trees with paper and pinecones.

After recess, the students investigated the letter ‘y’. Students looked at how to correctly write the letter ‘y’ and what are some of the words that begin with the letter ‘y’. Then in their books they tried to practice this letter and drawing things that start with ‘y’.

Students came back exhausted from lunch and needed a nice break in mindfulness. Once the students were rested, they had the opportunity to continue creating imaginative stories and houses with the furniture or explore the playground.

Just a reminder that it is Carols night tomorrow night. We are scheduled to be on the stage at 5:35 so if we could get everyone to meet at Curiosity (library) by 5:25 to get ready that would be great. If all the students could be wearing something Christmassy when they return for the carols that would be amazing. If that is a red shirt or a green shirt that is fine.

Once we have finished our two songs could you please collect your child from Curiosity where you can either stay to watch the rest of the show or go home.

Students had a wonderful day exploring new things and I hope to see everyone tomorrow for carols night,

Hi all,

Welcome to another busy day in RSA and RKS. We started the day with play-based investigation as normal.

After recess, we had a whole school Mass where we said goodbye to the year 6s and the teachers who were leaving at the end of the year.

After Lunch, we had mindfulness again where students are using wonderful colouring skills to make awesome pictures. Once we were rested we went outside for some fitness before it was home time.

Hope everyone has a wonderful afternoon,

Mr S

Hello everyone and welcome to another interesting day in RSA and RKS. We had an unusual day with our typical Friday assembly taking place today. After assembly we practice our carol songs for Friday.

Once we finished practice, we went out to the playground to let off some steam.

After recess we had numeracy rotations where we continued looking at patterns. We looked at colour patterns, shape patterns and dance patterns.

After Lunch, the class had mindfulness where the students continued to develop their fine motor skills to create colourful pictures.

Once we were all relaxed, we started our indoor/outdoor play where students got to choose whether they wanted to explore their Imaginative play with puppets and dress ups or practice their social skills on the playground.

Hi everyone and welcome to a fantastic sunny day in RKS and RSA. In the morning session students explored building cool structures through lego, dominos and wrapping paper.

RSA then went to library, while RKS practice their social skills where we conducted our circle time.

After recess, the students investigated the letter ‘x’. Students looked at how to correctly write the letter ‘x’ and what are some of the words that begin with the letter ‘x’. Then in their books they tried to practice this letter and drawing things that start with ‘x’.

Students came back exhausted from lunch and needed a nice break in mindfulness. Once the students were rested, they had the opportunity to continue creating imaginative stories and houses with the furniture or explore the playground.

Hello everyone and welcome to another interesting day in RSA and RKS. We started the day off with writer’s workshop where we have continued looking at adding numbers and dinosaurs into our bookmaking.

Then we looked at caring for God’s earth in the MUDLA.

After recess, we had numeracy rotations where the students continued investigating patterns with blocks and dominos.

After Lunch, the class had mindfulness where the students have developed their fine motor skills to create colourful pictures. Once we were all relaxed, we started our imaginative play where students have continued to explore representing different objects as items when they play.

Just a reminder that we have an incursion on Friday focusing on playing with nature. Could all the students please wear their sports uniform just in case they get a little grubby.

Hello everyone and welcome to another day in RSA and RKS. We started the day with play-based investigations where students have been really creative in their construction work.

After we packed up the room, RSA went off to the library to borrow some books and RKS had circle time where the students explored each other’s favourite things.

Once we had recess, RSA got to investigate the letter ‘X’ and RKS had a special Mass in the centre with RMR and RPN.

After lunch, we had mindfulness then the students got to be imaginative in their play exploring cubby house making, puppets and house building with lego.

I hope everyone enjoys the sun this afternoon,

After Recess, students investigated letters with their bodies in literacy rotations and continue working on writing their name. Can you guess the letters they made?

After lunch, we had play-based investigations where students continued their awesome building designs and social skills.

Hope everyone enjoys their afternoon,

Hello everyone and welcome to another day in RSA and RKS. We started the day with writer’s workshop where the students continued creating books based off the reading from yesterday. Students were brave spellers focusing on writing different colours and animals. They also designed their books with a flap that was hiding some of their animal and colour drawings.

Next, we investigated the MUDLA looking at the features of the animals. The students spotted one of the lizards shedding their skin in their enclosure.

After recess, we looked at creating AB, ABC and ABCD patterns with the colours before slowly being introduced to the idea that we can make a pattern with shapes.

After lunch, we had play-based investigations where students focused on designing and creating through imaginative play.

It was a busy day today and I hope everyone gets a good night’s rest,

Hi everyone and welcome to a fantastic sunny day in RKS and RSA. In the morning session students explored building cool structures through lego, magnetic squares and playdough. A few students even started creating cubby houses using the furniture and blankets from the puppet show.

After recess, the students investigated the letter ‘w’. Students looked at how to correctly write the letter ‘w’ and what are some of the words that begin with the letter ‘w’. Then in their books they tried to practice this letter and drawing things that start with ‘w’.

Students came back exhausted from lunch and needed a nice break in mindfulness. Once the students were rested, they had the opportunity to explore the laptops or play ball games outside.

Students had a wonderful day exploring new things and I hope to see everyone tomorrow,

Mr S
