Dear Parents and Caregivers
A big congratulations to Alexus and Megan who took out 1st
and 2nd place, respectively, in the Year 0/1 Poetry Competition.
Your performances were outstanding girls and Room 3 are very proud of you both.
We look forward to welcoming Agustin to our class next week, along with
Rosie, Harrison, Baxter, Archie and Archer who will be joining us for visits
throughout the week.
Thank you for the great work you are doing at home with the High
Frequency Sight Word cards. The children are recognising these words with
improved accuracy and speed and this knowledge is flowing through into their reading and writing.
In maths this week, our
focus has been on matching the number of objects in a set to the symbols/words
for numbers. This is a concept you might like to practise at home by making
some simple numeral cards (0-10) and then have your child count out a set of
simple objects (e.g. stones, blocks, beads etc) to match a chosen card.
For our Inquiry this week we
brainstormed games children played at school in the past and games we play at
school now. We used a Venn diagram to display our ideas, which helped us to
identify games that were both played in the past and still played now. We
followed this up by learning how to play hopscotch. The children are interested
in learning more about the game of Jacks (Knucklebones) if you happen to have a
set at home we could borrow please.
As we reach the six week mark for each child, I will be inviting
parents, caregivers and their child to make a time to meet with me to share
results of the School Entry Assessment and set Learning Goals. These meetings will
take approximately 30 minutes and take place on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
afternoons, after school. Please let me know if these days are difficult for
your family and I will try to arrange an alternative time with you. I will be
putting a booking sheet next to our class noticeboard early next week for you
to schedule a meeting time.
Have a lovely weekend.
Kind regards
Cara Wallace
