Term 4: week 5 Tuesday the 15th of Novemeber

Hello everyone and welcome to another amazing day in RSA and RKS. We began the day with writer’s workshop where we continued to be brave spellers and trying to add adjectives to describe an animal. Students have improved significantly in their writing where students have started to make their stories connect on each page (We had a malfunction with the iPad and there are no photos of them working on their stories).

After recess, students investigated the days of the weeks. We looked at what day is our favourite day and the order they come in. Students then got to work with their table to organise the days in the correct order in their books.

After lunch, students came in for some peaceful drawing and reading in mindfulness. Once the students relaxed their brains and bodies, they had the opportunity to do investigative play inside or outside the classroom.

 It was amazing and exciting to see everyone’s happy faces again (I think they were excited to see me as well). I was so thrilled to see all their progress.

Hello everyone and welcome to a busy Friday in RSA and RKS.

As always we had assembly in the morning where the students watched class 2AH and 5/6LF perform. Once the assembly finished the students came back inside to do some play-based investigations where Jayden was given the task of camera man.

Week 8: Thursday the 15th of September

Hi all and welcome to another Thursday in RKS and RSA.

We started off the day with come read with me. It is amazing to see how many students have progressed in their reading ability.

after come read with me the students socialised and creating amazing art work in play-based investigations.

Then as a class we decided because it was such a nice day outside we would have our recess outside.

After recess the students had literacy where they learnt the letter ‘m’. They discovered the letter ‘m’ through handwriting, drawing pictures that start with ‘m’ and creating ‘m’ in a unique way.

After lunch the students had the option to either investigate bugs in log park or do play-based investigations inside. Have a look at a couple of the students looking for bugs.

At the end of the day there was an award ceremony for the students who showed they glowed in the class today through working hard in class.
Today’s rewards went to Judi and Ellie

Hope everyone has an amazing afternoon,

Hello everyone and welcome to a beautiful spring day in RKS and RSA. It has been awesome to see everyone and see the amazing improvements each student has achieved while I was away.

We started off the day a little differently with writer’s workshop. Where students continue using skills they have developed in their literacy lessons to create books that start to tell a story. Take a look at a couple of them below.

After writer’s workshop both classes went to the MUDLA to investigate living things environment where they had to draw the enclosure of their favourite animal.

After recess students continued to investigate 10 frames and all the different ways you can add up to 10 using two numbers.

It was great to see everyones faces again and I hope everyone has an amazing afternoon.
