Welcome to the record of our week last week.. I hope you had a great Queens Birthday weekend.
We had a lovely week full of activity and learning, including our second hockey lesson, this time with Jackie.Careful listening and learning . |
STORYTIME
Mrs Probert and I are sharing the storytime first thing in the mornings, alternating between us and here you can see the children enjoying a story on the mat.
CO-ORDINATION AND TEAMWORK
We worked in pairs to sing Row, row, row your boat... and concentrated on working with a partner and not falling over - using our tummy muscles to stay firm with our core and helping each other.
Kosha and Corey working well. |
LETTER OF THE WEEK
Our letter of the week was c (we were learning that k and c make a 'kuh' sound) and one of the lovely activities is singing the Jolly Phonics c,k jingle...involving castanets. Everyone had at least one turn and the children love the song and percussion.

Every day we have a new special helper from our name box. This time it was Ava's turn and here you can see her putting up her certificate for the day. She was in charge of leading our line, giving out book bags at the end of the day and helping in class.
NZSL
We had a great lesson on Friday with Cathy from The Hearing House and can now sign lots of the foods we have in our lunch boxes - including sandwich, youghurt, orange, banana, apple and biscuit. These are some of the visuals Cathy uses and we played a great game using these names in sign . Your children should be able to remember them and help you learn too.
