Friday Fun

This weeks focus has been the letter 'g'. Today we used shapes to create goats. In discovery this afternoon Ethan made a sea anemone and Iarla made a super monster with one eyeball using the snap, click and pop zoob building set.

Kindy Visit

It was great to have the kindy visit us on Tuesday even though it was raining. Mrs Lindley read the big book called 'The Hole in the King's Sock'. Children had to design a pattern for their sock with both socks matching.

Getting to know each other

Room 5 & 6 spent the afternoon discussing families. We did our own pictures showing who lives at our house.

Tuesday visits

On a Tuesday we have visit for children who are starting soon. Room 5 made flowers to be part of our garden... because garden starts with G, this weeks letter of the week!

P.E.

Children in Rooms 5 @ 6 having fun practicing their passing and catching ball skills this afternoon.

Rm 5 visit the school library

Mondays will be Room 5's library day. Students will be allowed to get 1 book out at each visit (as long as they return their previous one!). Books taken out may go home for you to enjoy with your child.

Maths Games

On a Friday Maths is still continued but we learn through games and fun activites.

Today we learnt (or taught others) how to play snakes and ladders.

Reading at home

By now you will have noticed that reading books are coming home in your child's reading folder.
**Please remember no reading folder = no book**
Your child will have read this in class, with the teacher, and will have memorised the text. We appreciate your support in sitting down and listening to your child read 1 or more of their books to you each night.

We encourage you to remind them to:
- Point to each word as they read
- Use the pictures for clues to work out the unknown word/s
- Get their mouth ready to say the initial letter sound of unknown words.

Allow time for your child to talk through the story and pictures and relate their own experiences to the text, this will also help them with their oral language. 


Kind regards,
Nicola and Victoria
