We hope that you have all had a wonderful school holiday and we welcome you to the start of another busy term! We are delighted with all that the children have achieved so far and look forward to watching them progress even further this term! Week 1 is done and was jam packed! The children enjoyed their first dance lessons and had a blast at the carnival. Results are in and Red Faction were the winners on 2489 points, Purple was 2nd on 2332, Blue was 3rd on 2245, and Orange came 4th on 2062.
In Literacy, we will be
reviewing all of the sounds covered last term (G, O, L, F, U, B, W) and the new
sound for Week 1 was Jj for jelly. The new sight word for this
week was go…I like to go to
school. We are learning to blend 3 letter words C-A-T, cat. We will continue to
practise identifying rhyming words and counting syllables in words using our
bodies (head=1, shoulders=2, stomach=3, knees=4).
In Numeracy, we focused on the
number 16. Children practised counting to 16, writing the number 16, and using
one-to-one correspondence to count up to 16 items. We will also be revising
numbers 1-15, position language and simple patterns.
In Science, we started learning
about living and non-living. Living things need air, they move, grow and
reproduce. In Health, we are learning about Protective Behaviours. We will be
teaching children to develop personal safety skills, such as saying “no” and
having the right to feel safe at all times.
A few key reminders for Term 4:
· Kindy Blue have their Assembly item on Thurs 26th Nov (Week 7).
· Dance Parties and Book Awards
in Week 10.
· Please keep checking the blog
regularly, as we will continue to use the blog as a platform to post photos,
reminders, and updates on what children are learning at school each week.
· Please continue to work with
your child at home to practise concepts taught at school, and most importantly
have fun while you do this! – Studyladder is a great way to help your child
revise concepts at home and new activities will be added to Studyladder each
week.
As always, please contact me if
you have any questions or concerns. We look forward to another amazing, final
term ahead!
