International Day

Wow what a fantastic International Day. I am so proud of the children they did a great job at dancing our 'waka waka' dance. Everyone practiced very hard and we loved seeing their big smiles on stage.

Have a fantastic holiday break relaxing and having fun. We will look forward to see you again on Feb 26. 

Thank you very much to all the parents for your support and joining in with International day. 

Happy chinese new year!

Happy Chinese new year everyone! 

We had a fantastic day in kindergarten. The children did a great job at the dragon dance parade. Well done! 

They enjoyed making a snake mask, as well as linking chains together for a snake, some enjoyed making them super long.

Hope everyone had a great Chinese new year 

African Safari

This week we have been learning all about Kenya. The children got to make an African tribal mask and then we went in search of some safari animals. They had a great time telling their friends and teachers what animals they could see in the African safari. WE saw lions, tigers, monkeys, hyenas, elephants, giraffes and many more. Take a look at our African safari.

Lets play some music

This week our theme is all about 'Music and Dance'

Literacy: Learning about different styles of music and discovering which parts of the world you might hear them

Maths: Counting and number recognition

Phonics: Revision of Jolly Phonics sounds Phase 1

We have been having so much fun in class singing along to different songs. We took out the box of instruments today and enjoyed making different sounds and trying to follow along to the song, 'I am the music man.' The children did great and were able to listen and play their instrument when it was their turn.

CHINESE NEW YEAR - FRIDAY 8TH FEBRUARY

 We will be celebrating the New Chinese New Year next Friday 8th February. Please come to school dressed in red or Chinese costume and join in with the celebrations. Parents are welcome in the morning to participate in the whole school assembly with Reception or the Dragon Dance with Nursery and Kindergarten in the Early Years Playground.

parachute fun!

Today we had a lot of fun playing outside with the parachute. The children were great at listening and following directions. We were able to make large and small waves. They even got to make tent and sit under the parachute. What great fun we had!

Food!

This week we are learning all about 'food.'
Math focus: sorting objects by size, shape and colour as well as recognsing different sizes.

We enjoyed reading a story called 'Handas surprise' talking about what kind of fruit she put in her basket. We talked about which fruit we like and dislike.

Today we had fun making up different textures for our fruits such as painting with a fork, dot painting for our strawberries or sponge painting for a green apple.
