Week three, term two 2016.Rafe came o

Show and tell.


In music we are learning to listen so to introduce this essential skill whilst the weather was good, we went on a listening walk and drew what we heard on our whiteboards.

Great focus!

One of the sounds we heard was the flax leaves being collected up and rustling.

Our letter this week was 'p' so of course we needed to make, feel and taste this in order to describe it in our writing.


Yum!

Many of my lovely class are learning to write their names.



Time for some play dough together, sharing and chatting.




Jayden knows he is cutting out the number 4. 

Counting together and matching numbers to groups. Emma is helping Miecke beautifully.


Time for our K.I.T (Keeping In Touch) work to go home to our families.




Rate came on his first visit.

Emma has filled up her third sticker chart!

Miele was on a visit and was writing her name.

Beau is learning to write his name too.

So is Jayden!

I was so very excited to read this sentence written by Ewan without help . Mum and I have a racing car!

In Discovery Time we were working on our collages together.(My husband is putting these up on our foyer wall as I write - do come and see them they are awesome!)

Playing with friends using the plastic chains - many dogs and cats were taken for walks this morning!

Miecke has started school too.

Ewan made a trumpet!

Alex loved his mask.

Beau made a mask too - again, come and see the documented comic life pages on our foyer wall.

Bella was so excited to finish her second sticker chart!

During maths we were discovering how to make patterns with the same number of pieces of play dough..

George our lovely soft toy is the special helpers friend in the afternoon story time.

Homework certificates - given for the first excellent homework in the alphabet book every term. Well done, chaps!




We have some brilliant new Yolanda Soryl resources and here the children are learning how to use the Smart Boards and the phonemic awareness games.

Haylie loves this!


Sol helped Jayden so kindly and patiently.

NEXT WEEK we are off to see the Kindy on Tuesday morning and Wednesday morning at 11.30 is our cross country event. Do come and support your child.
ALSO - very important...
We are redefining the values of our school using the GROW aspect of our motto 'together we learn, together we grow.' We would very much appreciate your input to decide on what each letter of the acronym should stand for. Click on this link to access our blogspot to vote! Thanks.
