Dear All,
Has it almost been a month!? 4 weeks have blown by. From Chuseok to playgrounds to classrooms, here is what we’ve been up to this week:
Maths
As we’ve finished place value to 20, I have included their workbooks and assessments in their homework bag. See below the topics covered this week:
- Aut.2.1 – Parts and wholes
- Aut.2.2 – Systematic number bonds within 10
- Aut.2.3 – Number bonds to 10
- Aut.2.4 – Number bonds to 20
Number bonds to 20 proved a little tricky for some of us, so I’ve included extra practice on that in some bookbags.
Literacy
Having finished “Lost and Found” last week, we have begun writing our version of the story! We made a comic strip plan to reinforce the idea of a beginning, middle and end, before expanding on each of those. We’ll finish our writing next week, and hopefully have time to publish it properly on a nice card background. Stay tuned!
In phonics, we have worked hard in our groups. For students learning set 2 or set 3 sounds, we will do an assessment next week to adjust their book band. In our morning work, students have been using their phonics to write what they can see. Of course, we have also spent some relaxing time in our reading corner!
IPC
We have been busy in IPC! Continuing our look into the 5 senses, on Monday we created touch posters to explore different types of materials. The class explored lots of new vocabulary to describe what they can feel, such as “rough”, “smooth”, “soft”, “fuzzy” etc.
Later on, we considered what we can taste and the food we eat. We learned about different food groups and considered what makes a balanced meal. Together, the class sorted foods into groups and designed a healthy meal. They worked together so well!
Chuseok
It was wonderful to see so many of you for our Chuseok celebration! The class did so so well in their performance – not to mention the fun and games afterwards. I couldn’t be prouder.
And that’s all! Have a fantastic weekend 🙂
