What an exciting and fun short week we’ve had. During ring time we enjoyed discussing weekend news, our theme of the week as well as the weather and days of the week.

Writing and Phonics: The Squad worked hard on remembering their sight words from last week and received two new sight words for this week “dad” and “and”. We introduced sound buttons this week, the Squad grasped this concept well. They then wrote their first full sentences this week using their sight words, we are exceptionally proud of them, keep it up!  

Mathematics: The Squad did a simple worksheet on time where they had to draw the hands on the clock and explained minutes and hours, this is a new and difficult concept to grasp, and they did super well!

Creative Art: The Squad made their own pop bunnies using a cup, straws and coloured in ears, paws, and heads. These came out cute. They then made easter trees by making their own patterns on eggs for each family member and stuck them down on the tree.

Music and Cooking: On Tuesday for cooking the Squad made easter baskets by moulding together rice crispies, chocolate and marshmallows. They then placed speckled eggs in their baskets, hmmm so delicious!

For Music we introduced a Treble Clef and explained it’s a symbol that you use when writing music. They each coloured in a picture of a Treble Clef.

Have a wonderful April Holiday. We cant wait to see our Squad again in Term 2!

IB Principle: Risk – Takers – This week the Squad learnt all about taking risks and what sets apart the risks from being smart or not. Sometimes in life we feel that we are making the wrong choices, but it is out of fear, and they turn out to be great opportunities. Life is about taking risking and putting ourselves out there.

Personal Space – We explained to the Squad that personal space is the area around your body and that we need to respect our friends’ bubbles. We must not pop other people’s bubbles because it could make them feel uncomfortable and we must politely let others know when you are not comfortable with how close they are.
