Welcome to Term 4!
We hope that you have all had a wonderful school holidays and we welcome you to the start of another busy term! We are delighted with all that the children have achieved so far and look forward to watching them progress even further this term. Week one was jam packed! The children enjoyed their first dance lessons and had a blast at the carnival. Results are in and Red Faction were the winners on 2489, Purple was 2nd on 2332, Blue was 3rd on 2245, and Orange came 4th on 2062.
In Literacy, we will be reviewing all of the sounds covered last term (G, O, L, F, U, B, W) and the new sound for week one was Jj for jelly. We are learning to blend 3 letter words C-A-T, cat. We will continue to practise identifying rhyming words and counting syllables in words using our bodies (head=1, shoulders=2, stomach=3, knees=4).
In Numeracy, we focused on the number 16. Children practised counting to 16, writing the number 16, and using one-to-one correspondence to count up to 16 items. We will also be revising numbers 1-15, positional language and simple patterns.
In Science, we started learning about living and non-living. Living things need air, they move, grow and reproduce. In Health, we are learning about Protective Behaviours. We will be teaching children to develop personal safety skills, such as saying “no” and having the right to feel safe at all times.
A few key reminders for Term 4.
· Kindy Red have their Assembly item on Friday 30 October (Week 3).
· Kindy Blue have their Assembly item on Thursday 26 November (Week 7).
· Dance Parties and Book Awards are in Week 10.
Please keep checking the blog regularly, as we will continue to use the blog as a platform to post photos, reminders, and updates on what the children are learning at school each week.We look forward to another amazing, final term ahead!
