Hi Parents,

Have a look at what we got up to this week:

Literacy

We revised last week’s letter ‘a’ and learnt our new sound ‘m’. We practiced writing and recognizing these letters in signs and books around us. We also went on a hunt around the school to find items that had the initial sound ‘m’.

 Some of us went on a hunt to find things beginning with 'm'. It was a lot of fun and the girls felt very grown up with their clipboards!

We summarised our letters by playing some catergorising games. 

Math	We revised shapes and how to form them. We also practiced number formation from 1-10.

 We played a fun game of number ordering. Then I shouted out a number and the kids had to jump to it!

Kru.Noon played a fun game of find the number! The kids had to race and see who got the most.

After learning about shapes and how many sides they have, we made robots and then tape painted our art table!

Science

We revised parts of the face and our 5 senses. We focused on sight and sound. We also went on some sensory walks to use our senses. We introduced parts of the body and did a cool body tracing activity.

 The body tracing activity was a fun way of learning our body parts!

Art	This was tied into our book day. Our book is ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ and we enjoyed making a basket just like Red’s.

The kids loved our book and really enjoyed role playing with their new baskets!

 I enjoyed role playing too - I was the 'big bad wolf' dressed up as granny :)

PSED	This week was all about learning how to play with our friends. We also had some free flow play with RE. By doing this, we learnt how to share, take other’s feelings into consideration and tidy up when we finished playing.

We cut out story characters and worked together in a group to sequence the story in the correct order. 

Physical

We did some yoga to test out how our muscles and joints work. We also learnt how to recognize body parts by listening, watching and doing.

The kids had a lot of fun during their child initiated periods as well!

 Lexie had fun counting and sorting.

 Lucy loved dressing up.

 Lexie made this by looking at a model.

 The boys and I made some puzzles.

 Ploen and Lucas made a dinosaur park!

 Mai and Lexie decorated shapes.

 Totem: "I washing babies with this!:

 Look at this amazing airport the girls made!

Home Learning	As a home learning activity, please practice counting various household items around the house. If you can go past 10, that will be great practice for next week. Here are some things you can do: Count food items, count cutlery and dishes or even their toys.
Notices and Events	Just a reminder that for PE, send your child in their PE kit on Wednesdays. And for swimming, send in their swimsuits. If you do not want your child swimming (if they’re sick or allergic), please let me know ahead of time. Thank you, Miss.Myshi J
