Dear Parents,
We have had a great week filled with fun games and activities. The children jumped on the train today and took a journey all the way to the beach together! We learned all about sun saftey such as wearing a hat, and using sunsreen to protect our skin. This week they have been joining in with many different art activites and seeing all the different ways that we can use sand for art projects.
They loved making collage pictures to create their sandcastle. After they were finished they each got to sprinkle sand over the top and add on starfish and seashells that they collected by the water.
They also got to paint their own picture of the beach with sand paint. Everyone was able to point out where specific colours were needed, such as the water was blue and the tree was green and brown. Well done everyone!
Our theme for this week is all about the beach and seaside. For numeracy we have been focusing on how to count up to 5 objects at a time and matching them to the correct number. Each child got to go to the beach and dig for 3 shells in the sandbox. They loved looking for shells and had a great time with this activity. They would count their shells over and over to make sure they counted out the right amount!
For further practice at home you could practice counting out simple objects around the house such as how many pieces of fruit are on your plate.
Dear Parents,
This week we have been learning all about the City and the Country. Together as a class we have created our own city and our own country showing tall buildings in the city and rolling hills in the country. The children love to hear the loud sounds of the city and the quite animal sounds of the countryside. We have been exploring the differences between the two and which one we like better.
For additional learning at home you could explore what they see when they go downtown and the different sounds that they hear. Have fun exploring the enviroment around them.
Dear Parents,
Book week was filled with great stories and sharing our favourtie books with one another. The children loved sitting down and reading with one another and talking about their favourite characters. The costumes on friday were filled with princesses and superheroes the children loved talking about what character they were. During assembly that week the children did great at retelling the story of 'Brown Bear Brown Bear.' They remembered all the words WELL DONE!
Dear Parents,
Kindergarten had a fantastic Halloween! The childrens costumes were amazing and they couldn't have been more proud to show off their costume to their friends. Everyone really enjoyed trick or treating and loved getting lots of halloween candy.
