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!

 

Wishing All Our Christian Families And Friends A Happy And Blessed Easter ...

We created such a beautiful card where the Squad stuck together and created their own bee because they “BEElieve in themselves”. We are also gearing up for our annual Art Expo so we have been putting all of our art together and completing the last few that we need to finish. This week the Squad used their light board to trace over their faces for a “wanted” poster – we cannot wait for you to see it!

The Squad have been counting in 2s, 5s, and 10s. We have been asking the children to write numbers 1-20 and identify numbers 11-20 (double digit). Focusing that the number “1” comes first. Also recognising that they pronounce “teen” and not “ty” as in “thirt(ty)”.
