Week Five

Hope you all had a wonderful long weekend. 

Literacy

Our letter of the week is the ‘S s’ phonic sound. Throughout the week we will practise the ‘S s’ sound by identifying words that start with this sound such as snake. To reinforce student’s learning of the ‘S s’ sound, we will have a ‘supermarket’ themed dramatic play area, create ‘spotty snakes’, and explore slime.

Numeracy

Our number of the week is the number 3. Students will learn how to write the number 3 and will have the opportunity to practise counting and identifying 3 items during activities such as the beanbag toss, number fishing, and the number soup game.

Science

The focus for science this term is our five senses. This week we will explore the senses of touch and sight. Students will be making glasses to discover the sense of sight, and feely bags and slime will be used to investigate the sense of touch.

Health (CHAT)

This term students have been learning about pedestrian safety. For example, knowing how to cross the road safely and understanding what various road signs and signals mean. To reinforce what students have learnt so far, this week we will be outside in our outdoor play area practicing how to cross the road safely using our road mats and signs.  

We will be placing a parent volunteer roster next to the door of our classroom in week 6. Parent volunteer times are from 8:45 until 10:30 (start of the day until recess) and we would absolutely love for any parents or other family members who may be able to spare a couple of hours of their morning to sign their name up on our parent roster.
