Week 4

Hello parents of Kindergarten A!

I hope that you have all had a lovely weekend and enjoyed the mothers day gifts your children made this week.

English

This week in English we have been focusing not only on our writing but also learning phase 4 sight words (went, it's, help, just) as well as our phonic sounds of TR,GR and DR.

We are also focusing on our hand writing as a few of us are still finding holding a pencil a little cumbersome so I have been providing a few pencil grips. You may also see more writing practice sheets going home in our child's homework to help them improve.

Maths

We have continued work on our addition and through games like snakes and ladders and our dice games we have been quickly getting better at quick addition!

We have really been enjoying our random dice addition game and have been requesting to play it all the time!

In the coming weeks we are going to start practising our counting up to 100!

Play

We have really been enjoying pretending to be horses when we play in the park and have been showing our caring and principled natures to always try to include our friends in all of our games.

Due to the sad events that occurred in Shiga this week we played in the gym on Friday while we reviewed our procedure in travelling to and from the park to make sure that all safety precautions were being taken.

However I will be talking with the class about road safety to make sure all our friends are fully educated about and aware of the dangers of the road and travelling next to and over it.

Should you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate in contacting me.

Art and Craft

By now I hope that you have all received your wonderful mothers day gifts and cards from your children. They worked really hard all week to make them for you and put their hearts and souls into their creations to make you proud.

"We are doing this for our mum's so let's make sure to do our best"

This was from a conversation between two of our classmates and it melted my heart.

Important information

Raz kids

I placed your Raz Kids password printout within your child's homework folder, should you have not received it please contact me ASAP so that we can get them started on their reading adventures.

See Saw

As you may have been aware we have been unable to post any information regarding your child on SeeSaw. This should be rectified this week, thank you for being patient with us and I will send out an email through Jupiter as soon as we are able to post. 

Homework

Home work this week is due by Wednesday 15th.

I have noticed that a few students are failing to bring their homework back to class be checked. This work is necessary for me to see who may need extra help in certain areas as well as teaching them responsibility of their own work.

If your child has lost their homework please do not hesitate in contacting me as I am easily able to send you a printable version.
