Wow! What an exciting and fun short week we’ve had! During ring time we enjoyed discussing holiday news and awesome experiences of the holidays. We also discussed what Mother’s Day is and the things our mommies do for us.

Writing and Phonics: The Squad worked on sight words such as he, she, look, play, on, no, I, here, is, in, the, me, at, it, we, said, yes. We played a fun game that the Squad really enjoyed. Then we played hang man using their sight words, this was so much fun as everyone was able to identify the words and grasped this quite well. We introduced “sound buttons” where each letter had a dot under it, and when you push the button, you need to say the sound of the letter. We also practiced blending of letters to form words using the “ad family” such as “b-ad”, “s-ad”. Lastly, we completed a worksheet where each learner had to identify what the word is and match it to the picture by drawing a line.

Mathematics: This week we recapped our numbers from 1 to 20 as well as counting in 2’s.

Life Skills: With focusing on our moral conscious theme: Mommy knows best – Respect authority, we spoke about the importance of listening to, not only our moms, but having respect for your parents and that they love and care for you so deeply.

Creative Art: We completed our Mother’s Day art, we made Mother’s Day cards, key rings and beautiful bracelets for our special moms.

We are looking forward to the rest of the term together, we have a busy and eventful one ahead, but we are sure that the Squad are going to continue to blow us away!

Thank you and have a great weekend. See you all at our Sports Day tomorrow. and have a Happy Mother’s Day Smart Squad moms!
