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:

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.
