Moral conscious theme: Treating our Friends with Care – we spoke about how important it is to treat others with the kind and respect that we would like to receive. We also taught them that our words can be hurtful. We need to use kind words to fill our friendship love tanks. 

Writing and Phonics: We went over our “D, E, F” letters, this included the Squad writing the letters with marks first and then writing the letters in their books. They have been getting used to using the ‘cat method’ – some letters are small; some are tall and some fall. 

Mathematics: For maths we counted to 30 and in 5s. We were pleased to know that the Squad are able to recognise the numbers 0-10. We practiced writing the numbers and also discussed the properties of a square, they pressed different items (square-shaped) into paint. Well done, Squad! 

Creative Art: This week we focused on our five senses – what we can see, touch, hear, smell and taste. We created a senses booklet where the children used those different elements to stick in spices, cut out from magazines, drew a picture and more. We know you are going to love this art piece! 

 FunFit Sports: Coach Trevor played cricket with the squad this week and they absolutely adored this – we were blown away with their skills. 

Music: Teacher Katy visited the Squad on Wednesday, and they practiced their vowel and 3D shapes song whilst she played the piano which assisted with time keeping. Keep it up Squad!

Creative Art: For art this week the Squad went on a lovely nature walk, collecting sticks and rocks to create their own unique fire pits. Back in class, they used wood glue to assemble their designs, adding a pop of colour with red and yellow flames. Way to go Squad, your craftmanship really shone through!

Creative Art: This week in art, the kids had a blast creating their own phones using recycled materials. It was adorable to see them chatting away on their handmade “phones” – they really got into character! This activity encouraged their creativity and imagination, and it was lovely to see them having so much fun.
