Moral conscious theme: Do unto others 

We explained to this Squad that this is a golden rule, treat others the way you would like to be treated. You need to treat your friends with kindness and respect no matter what.   

Writing and Phonics: This week the Squad did a worksheet on the “ip” family, they had to match the correct words with the pictures followed by writing out sentences with the “ip” family words. We have been practicing number names 1-10 and working hard on remembering sight words.  

Mathematics: The Squad did a fun worksheet where they had to dot to dot a fish from 1-20 and then coloured it in. We also practised counting in 2’s. 5’s and 10s as well as counting backwards from 30. Please keep practicing this at home.  

Creative Art: The Squad has been continuing to work hard on their art expo pieces, the piece they made this week involved painting, as well as cutting and pasting. The excitement is real as art expo is right around the corner, it is truly going to be groovy night! 

Please note– we are doing assessments over the next few weeks; please can all kiddies be at school.

Christmas!

Imagine you have a friend who loves playing with blocks, but you love playing with dolls. Being open-minded means you can say, “That’s cool! You like blocks, and I like dolls. Let’s play together and find a way to make it fun for both of us!”

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

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!
