RM's transition to Primary

The kids enjoyed meeting Mrs.O who will be their new teacher next year!

They had a long chat about what Primary is all about! 

Then we went on a tour of the Primary building and ended up at the canteen for lunch time. 

RM washed their hands and then lined up nicely to get their plates and cutlery. They chose their own food and sat with the big boys and girls to eat lunch. 

It was Friday so they got treated to ice-cream which they loved! 

It was a great first transition day and RM are already excited for their second visit next week. 

The next flag raise and transition day will be on June 09th. 

Highlights from Week 6 at RM

Here are a few pictures from Friday where the kids did really well! 

They practiced word writing by listening to words. 

This week , for Literacy, we practiced final sounds of words. The kids had to read the word out, segment it and then figure out the final sound. 

They also did word bingo! The kids had to look at their picture and find the matching word - they had a lot of fun doing this! 

We also did a worksheet relating to our guided reading book this week. The kids had to remember what they read and fill out initial, middle and final sounds. 

For Science, we learnt about rain forests. First, we revised the continents and looked at where rain forests are found in the world. 

Then we learnt about the layers of a rain forest. 

Then, the kids labelled the layers of their forests and stuck animals in each layer. They did this activity with very little support - I was so impressed! It looks like they are getting ready to move to the big school next year :) 

For Numeracy, we learnt about sharing. The kids worked on making pizzas and cutting them into half, one fourths and one eights. Some of us picked a friend and shared their biscuits but cutting them into half. 

It has been a great week of learning and fun! We are all very excited for next week's topic and field trip :) 

Here is our weekly review/preview. 

RM Weekly Update Term: 3              Week: 6        Dates: 22nd – 26th  May 2017

                                                                                                                                        

	This Week (Jungle/Animals)	Next Week (Dinosaurs)
Literacy	We covered the sound ‘wh’ and words beginning with the sound. We also practiced filling in blanks of final sounds on words.	We will learn our new camera words: school, when, one, out, do, what.
Math	We learnt about sharing: half, one fourths and one eighths. It was hard for them to understand one thirds and one sixths.	We will introduce the children to word problems. Through this they will develop reasoning and problem solving skills.
Science	We learnt about the layers of a rainforest and what kinds of animals are found in each layer. We used our critical thinking skills to figure out why animals are found in these layers.	We will learn about dinosaurs. We are going to be archaeologists and go looking for dinosaur bones. Then we will assemble them to discover what kinds of dinosaurs existed a long time ago!
Art	We made lots of art and crafts relating to our forest animal topic – face masks, handprint animals and animal print binoculars.	We will dedicate these lessons to making our art project for the ‘Art Auction’. More information will be sent out regarding this in the weeks to come.
PSED/Physical	We used our binoculars and went on a rainforest walk!	We will be visiting ‘Dinosaur Planet’ as our class trip.
Home Learning	Please practice writing these numbers – 3, 2, 7,  and 9. I am noticing that the kids are inverting some of these numbers when writing.
Notices and Events	Please remember that our class trip is on May 30th. Please ensure that the children are in school on time.
