Well done to all on surviving another wet week. In
spite of some indoor play and lunch times we did a great job of looking after
ourselves, our friends and our classroom environment, and we packed in a lot of
learning too! We particularly enjoyed our first hockey skills session with
Craig and the Spirit of Polynesia performance on Friday. Please, if you are yet
to pay for this show or for the Life Education experience, return your money to
the office asap :)
This
week we look forward to another hockey session and many more fitness sessions
with Mr Harvey. The cross country is fast approaching so our new focus will be
stamina and pacing ourselves for a longer route. We also continue to focus on
skip counting in maths (2s, 5s and 10s) as a strategy to help us to solve
addition problems more quickly. We have been looking at contractions, rhymes
and compound words in our readers and shared books, and in the week ahead we’ll
be exploring alliteration (putting words one after another that start with the
same sound) as a feature of reading and writing. You might like to have a go at
home, putting some incredibly interesting ideas into wonderfully wordy super
sentences, like this “Room 3’s remarkable writers are writing really ridiculous
rhymes to read”. Can you make a sneaky
sentence full of similar sounds?
