Dear Parents,
I hope you are all having a lovely week. This week has flown in! I can’t believe we only have 2 weeks left until Winter Break now.
We have chosen our Winter Show Song and practised the dance today. If your child would like to practise at home, this is the song Rockin’ around the Christmas Tree. I have also bought canes for the students to use.
This week, we said goodbye to our lovely Ana Clara. She has returned to Brazil for three months. Everyone was sad to say their farewells. We hope she has a great time!
In Maths this week, we started our new unit on Shape. We have been having lots of fun exploring them, drawing them and looking at lines of symmetry.
In Literacy, we are now getting ready for our writing assessment next week. We have been working hard to gather all the information we need to create a fact sheet about owls. The children have been making mind maps, practising key grammar skills, and learning how to use sub-headings to organise their ideas.
In IPC, we have been learning about parts of stories and have read the story of Phileas Fogg: Around the world in 80 days. The children enjoyed using globes to find the countries that Fogg travelled to. They made little postcards with facts about each country too.
We also went on a lovely walk around the school grounds after our fire alarm practise today. The children had THE BEST TIME! Look at the happiness in their faces.
Wishing you all a happy and productive weekend 🙂
Take care
Mrs Sim 🙂
