This week, for Literacy, it was all about camera words!

We went on a word hunt... 

...and found so many camera words! 

 We learnt how to recognise them quickly too! 

Then we practiced writing them on a line. 

For our writing lesson, we learnt how to read sentences and fill in the blanks. For example: My name is ___. 

Numeracy was loads of fun because we got to make 'double biscuits' and then eat them!!

 4 and 4 makes 8. 

 3 and 3 makes 6. 

 2 and 2 makes 4. 

 Lucy added as many as she could so she could eat it! :) So 5 and 5 makes 10. 

  4 and 4 makes 8. 

 Jayce had the same idea as Lucy! :) 5 and 5 makes 10. "More stars for me Miss.Myshi" 

Our Physical lesson was a tough one this week. We went on a 'superhero' workout! It was intense but through it, the kids observed the effects of exercise on their bodies. And after a brief chat, they learnt that our hearts beat faster to give the body more blood and we breath faster to give our body more air. We also covered the fact that we need to drink lots of water when we exercise because the sweat is taking water out of our bodies. It was a very successful lesson! 

We had a fantastic week and look forward to next week with the water cycle and the superhero party! 

Here is our review/preview for this week:

	This Week (Superpowers)	Next Week (Water Cycle)
Literacy	We learnt the new camera words: come, some, have, little, there, were. These words are quite tricky to remember and need to be broken down. So, please practice them at home.	We will begin our new Unit and cover the sound ‘sh’. This is the first time the kids will learn a two letter sound so we will take it easy. We will learn new words such as: shop, shell, fish, rush.
Math	We learnt how to double numbers between 1-10. The kids were excellent with numbers 1-5, but needed some help with 6-10 doubling. Please play memorizing games at home to help them remember these.	We will revise doubling and then go onto do more complex addition (upto 20).
Science	We learnt the the importance of eating the right kinds of food to stay strong. We revised nutrients and learnt what a balanced meal should have. Then we made our ‘super sandwiches’ that had all the nutrients in it.	We will learn about the water cycle process. We will touch on the importance of saving water and pollution, as well.
Art	We made a very cool superhero city with a vibrant background by mixing various water colours.	We will create a water cycle craft to hang around the classroom. It will be done in steps to help students understand each process very clearly.
PSED/Physical	We did a superhero workout and observed the effect that exercise had on our bodies – sweating, heart beating, faster breathing. Then we chatted about why these things happen.	We will be using this lesson to have our superhero party!
Home Learning	Please practice the camera words and doubling 6-10 with your kids.
Notices and Events	We will be having a superhero party next week (for students only):  Date: 04th May 2017 Time: 1.30pm onwards Dress code: Superhero Food: Any snacks This party will only be for the kids this time. There will be a prize for the most innovative outfit, so get the kids thinking outside the box! J  Thank you J
