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

Shops and Shopping

Shops and Shopping

Our Shops and Shopping theme is always a hit! We taught the kids practical skills that blend learning with fun. We covered money basics (identifying coins, understanding “buying” and “change”), practiced social interactions (role-playing shopkeepers/customers), and linked maths to life (counting, sorting items). We encouraged creativity (designing their own “shop”), all while connecting school to the real world. The kiddies had an absolute blast choosing their items and filling their trolleys, it was too cute!

Cooking and Food

The Squad had a blast with the theme cooking and food! They learned about various cooking methods and the importance of proper food handling, especially for foods like pork and chicken, to avoid foodborne illnesses. They made their own pizzas, where they added their own tomato paste, ham, and cheese, and then took this delicious treat home to eat. Well done, Squad!
