Moral conscious theme: Personal Space – We explained to the Squad that personal space is the area around your body and that we need to respect our friends’ bubbles. We must not pop other people’s bubbles because it could make them feel uncomfortable and we must politely let others know when you are not comfortable with how close they are.  

Writing and Phonics: This week the Squad worked hard on remembering and reading their sight words “but” and “can”. We are very impressed by how the Squad have remembered their words, please keep practicing sight words at home too. They also wrote sentences in their workbooks, making use of the “cat” method and their sight words. 

Mathematics: This week the Squad completed subtraction sums in their workbooks by using the crossing out method, along with concrete objects. We also practiced counting backwards from 30-0 and in 2’s, 5’s and 10’s. 

Creative Art: The Squad enjoyed making their Mother’s Day art this week, they can’t wait to take their beautiful creations home to show their moms.  

Have a wonderful weekend! 

Wishing all our special EcoMommies a very Happy Mother's Day on Sunday!

This week the Squad focused on the “at” family and wrote sentences in their workbooks using the cat method. We are so pleased with how well they are progressing with their handwriting, focusing on finger spacing and placing the letters in the correct part of the “cat”. They also decoded words using sound buttons in their TimetoRead books. Great work Squad!

The Squad have been counting in 2’s, 5’s and 10’s. We have also introduced subtracting to 10 and they enjoy this very much. We say ‘’I bought (number) oranges and we ate (number) so we are left with …” Nice job Squad! We have also introduced the clock; this goes hand in hand with counting in 5s around the clock.
