Yippppeeeee! Its time for a long weekend!
We are now going into our final week of Weather and Seasonal Change in Science. We will be ending with a fun experiment that explores how special animal coverings can keep them warm in winter. Here are 2 video clips:

We had fun sorting and classifying this week. The children enjoyed the practical activities very much. Sorting Homework has been sent home. Next week we will be moving onto Patterns.
Tip: I have discovered the website ABCya (https://www.abcya.com/) Paige and Emma find it fun and the learning opportunities are great for Math. The children use this website regularly to practise their Literacy and Math skills, and to have fun!
Show and Tell: We have now finished with sharing of photographs. I would like to try something different next week. A guessing game. Please help your child choose a person, place or thing. They are to describe it, without naming it, so that the class can listen carefully and then guess who or what it is. For example, Paige could describe her sister Emma or her favorite fruit.
Literacy: we have now finished with our Narrative Writing. Next week we will be revising some grammar and phonics skills we have learnt this quarter. For the spelling test this week, children need to revise all 20 words that they have had in the past 2 weeks. On Friday, they will be tested on 10 of these words.
Friday is Sports Day. Children need to wear a blue tshirt and normal PE shorts and trainers. They must have their hat, water bottle and a snack to take with them. We will be leaving school at 08:15. Please make sure you are on time. All children need to pay $3 towards the cost of the transport and facilities for the day.
