Term 2 - Week 4

Week 4 already, it feels as though the term is flying by! We welcomed Sam who joined us on Thursday. Here he is looking really proud to be starting school:

Once again we have been busy learning lots of new things. For the next few weeks our topic is Creative Play Spaces and we aim to design a new play space for the school by the end of the unit. The new play space is going to be here outside Room 8.

On Wednesday we visited Nayland Kindy and had a lovely time. The children used the ipads to take photos of all the things they liked in the outdoor space at the kindy and we already have some great ideas of new things we would like at school.


As part of our number work we are seeing how quickly we can order numbers. Everyone had a different number and it only took the children 1 minute and 15 seconds to get themselves into the correct order. Next week we are going to see if we can do it even faster.

We have also been busy playing lots of number games. Here are some of the children with caterpillars. They had to give each caterpillar the correct number of legs. All the children checked their caterpillar really carefully to make sure the number of legs was correct.

Every week, usually on a Friday morning we have Discovery Time. During this time the children are encouraged to work one of our key competencies, this week we were focusing on relating to others with an emphasis on sharing and turn taking.

In these photos the children are busy taking turns while playing the games.


























Finally our Star of the Week this week was Monique. She has been working super hard at home trying to learn all her pink words. Here she is with her certificate, well done Monique.
