IB Principle:  Creative Thinkers – this week we spoke about we can extend our knowledge by pushing the boundaries and asking those difficult questions. 

Writing and Phonics: This week we focused on our “am” family. We wrote these words out using the cat method and the Squad are improving with their abilities to correctly place their letters on the lines and using finger spacing. Well done! 

Mathematics: We coloured in the amount of objects that corresponded with the number. We also recapped counting to 20 and counting backwards. This was our last week of assessments and are pleased with their progress. 

Creative Art: This week we focused on creating wonderful art pieces for Father’s Day. The children decorated their own ties using recycled bits from our Art Studio and they moulded salt dough to create a key holder. We hope you love it just as much as we do.  

FunFit Sports: Coach Trevor completed gross motor assessments with the Squad this week. 

Cooking: Teacher Hayley made cupcakes with the Squad that were decorated with a golf theme. Using oreo’s for sand, icing sugar for the grass and pretzels for the golf pole. Delicious! 

Wishing you all a lovely weekend. 

Love, Teacher Carla & Teacher Hayley

Creative Art: For art this week the Squad went on a lovely nature walk, collecting sticks and rocks to create their own unique fire pits. Back in class, they used wood glue to assemble their designs, adding a pop of colour with red and yellow flames. Way to go Squad, your craftmanship really shone through!

Creative Art: This week in art, the kids had a blast creating their own phones using recycled materials. It was adorable to see them chatting away on their handmade “phones” – they really got into character! This activity encouraged their creativity and imagination, and it was lovely to see them having so much fun.
