Animals and Dinosaurs!

This week, we have had a lot of fun!!

First, we went on a safari and wrote the animals that we saw. The kids had to use their knowledge on phonics and think of how to write animal names - they did really well!

We made some animals for our rain forest. The kids were very good at figuring out which layer their animal should go into. 

We practiced our camera words and made sentences using flashcards!

We learnt all about dinosaurs and how they became extinct. 

Then we dug up fossils!

We made our own fossil dinosaurs :) 

We had a lot of fun on our trip to Dinosaur Planet! 

It was a very fun-filled week and we are very excited for next week! We will be focussing on our art project - please have a look at the review/preview for more details:

	This Week (Dinosaurs)	Next Week (Under the Sea/Seaside)
Literacy	We learnt our new camera words: school, when, one, out, do, what. I would recommend that parents practice these words at home with the children.	We will review the camera words. I feel that the kids need some more practice in recognizing camera words so this week will focus on quick recognition of words.
Math	This week, we learnt about word problems. This helped the kids listen to problem and use their reasoning skills to figure out the answer.	We will revise word problems and 2D/3D shapes with the kids next week.
Science	We learnt how dinosaurs became extinct and what dinosaur fossils look like. Then we made our own fossil dinosaurs.	We will learn about the layers of the ocean.
Art	We made our own dinosaurs with various patterns and colours.	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. Please remember to RSVP to the auction.
PSED/Physical	We went on a trip to Dinosaur Planet and the kids enjoyed the tour very much!	We will role play a picnic by the beach!
Home Learning	Please practice the camera words: school, when, what, do, out, one.
Notices and Events	Please remember to RSVP for the Art Auction. Thank you J
