Week 7 at RM!

We had a busy start to the week when we practiced a lot of blending and word recognition! 
The kids are very proud of themselves for being able to read so many words and they really enjoyed this game. In fact, I have prepared a set of word mats for the kids to do over the holidays. You may wish to practice this, but it is not compulsory. The game is to read out a word and ask your child to circle it. Then they will take a turn to read out a word. By doing this they are practicing their reading and segmenting skills. 




















We also had a lot of fun making ourselves some cowboy/cowgirl hats! The Wild Wild West theme is truly underway... we're getting very excited for international day and our party tomorrow! 



















This Week (Wild Wild West)

 

Literacy
This week, we reviewed all the sounds and did a lot of reading! The kids were very impressive. Please keep practicing blending over the holidays. I will send home some word mats.       

Math
The kids were introduced to Numicon. We spent some time learning what each block represented and how to make ten using various number blocks. In the future, we will be using Numicon to teach the kids all sorts of numeracy topics so this will be a good foundation to have.

Science
We learnt what a typical sunset background looks like in the Wild Wild West.  

Art
Then we made a beautiful sunset background art project!

PSED

We learnt about Valentine’s day and made cards for our loved ones.

Physical
We made some cowboy/girl hats, cowbo/girl boots and did a cowboy/girl dance!

Home Learning
I will send home some word mats or sound mats (depending on what your child needs). Please use these to play some word searching games with them. You can refer to our blog to get some examples.

Please note that this is not compulsory, they are simply learning aids if you wish to practice over the holidays.   
Notices and Events
Have a lovely holiday and thank you for all your support this term!

Our Scottish Visitor

Hello parents,

Today we had a visitor come from Scotland to talk about his country. The kids really enjoyed his company and thought he was quite funny!







You can ask the kids all about it when they come home today :)

We had a great week learning all about Scotland!

We made the Scottish flag:



















We learnt about the animals of Scotland and made some Highland cows and sheep: 














We discovered the flower of Scotland: the Thistle. And we learnt a lot of interesting facts about it. 














We learnt that in Scotland, different family names (clans) have different tartans. Then we made our very own tartan!





























We also tried out some Scottish dancing!
