We have been settling back nicely into school after the holidays and have had some great fun along the way!
Our letters and sounds for this week were Hh and Rr. We learned the actions for these letters, found and drew words starting with them, and practiced forming the letters correctly in our workbooks. We also reviewed Cc, Kk and Ee and practiced blending all these sounds together to help us read words like ‘cat’ and ‘hen.’ I am very pleased to see the children so keen to learn to read and try very hard to use what they know – well done, KG 2A.
In math, we have been working in small groups with the teacher. We have been counting in tens and reading, tracing, ordering and making numbers up to 20!
We have also continued learning about being healthy in our Pockets books. I am pleased to see the children practicing the healthy habits they have learned about, and very impressed that they are all starting to answer questions in full sentences like “He’s brushing his teeth.” Please continue to talk to your children at home about what they have learned, this really helps them to reinforce their knowledge.
On Friday, our art project was to make storage boxes. We decorated them carefully and had great suggestions for what we could put inside. We hope you like them!
Note: we have redesigned our homework schedule to one that is more closely linked to our curriculum. We hope that it will give you a clearer idea of what we are learning about, and leave room for balancing work and play. For more information, please read the letter we sent home on Friday or write me a note in your child’s communication book.
Here we are spending quality time in our new favorite area, the KG library. We love all the books and toys here and really enjoy playing with our friends here!
