Welcome back parents, we hope the Squad is well rested after the holidays. This week we focused on recapping, lots of free play and settling in!  

Writing and Phonics: This week we did a recap on sight words and played a fun game where the Squad had to go searching for their hidden sight words around the class and then try and read them out once found.  

Mathematics: For mathematics this week, we did a recap on counting to 30 and back and practiced counting in 2’s, 5’s and 10s. 

Cooking: For our cooking class this week, the Squad made doughnuts for Mother’s Day, they rolled their own dough and then formed a doughnut shape, they watched the doughnuts fry and turn golden brown. Once the doughnuts cooled down, they poured chocolate on top and added sprinkles. They have been so excited to bring these home to their moms! 😀 

Creative Art: The Squad wrote down a menu that they are going to treat and pamper their mothers with on Mother’s Day. They then made a beautiful bouquet of flowers art piece where they coloured in, cut out the flowers and pasted them down followed by tracing their own hand and cutting it out to represent them holding the bouquet of flowers. Hehe, they absolutely enjoyed this! 

Have a wonderful weekend!

 

We hope you have a very special Sunday our very special Eco Moms!

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.
