Week Eight

Literacy

This week students will be learning about the phonic sound Nn. Throughout the week we will be focusing on words that start with this sound. For example nest starts with n n n, nose starts with n n n, and night starts with n n n. This week students will have the opportunity create starry night skies using their fine motor skills and shiny star stickers. Students will continue to practise identifying the initial sound in their name and will also continue to practise writing their name.

Numeracy

Our number of the week is the number 5. Students will learn how to write the number 5 and recognise the number 5 in dot patterns (also known as subitising). We will also review numbers 1 to 4, focusing on recognising these numbers in the form of numerals, dot patterns, and collections of objects.

Health

Over the past few weeks we have been revising best hygiene practices with the children, as these are vital life skills that are of extreme importance during this time. These practices include coughing and sneezing into elbows, using correct hand washing procedures, and washing hands before meals, after playtimes and after using the toilet. We also remind you to please keep your child home if they are unwell, as staying home is the best way to allow your child to recover from sickness and prevent the spread of illness within the community.

If you have any questions or concerns, please speak to your class teacher.
