Weeks 17 and 18

Hello parents of Kindergarten A

I decided to combine this week and last week together in this blog as both were short weeks.

Unit of Inquiry

We have really been enjoying our studies of ancient civilisations! So many of us have been very curious about how people lived so long ago, the different ways they wrote down their stories, the different foods they ate, what they wore and what they would do in their day to day activities.

Many of us were surprised that both the Roman and Greek civilisations had and enjoyed bathhouses, just like Japan! We also learned about a Greek hero named Hercules and the tasks he had to complete.

In the last few days we have been learning about the city of Pompeii. We knew from our last unit the power of volcanoes and we were able to use that knowledge to discuss what happened in Pompeii. We were all fascinated with how much we could learn because the city of buried so quickly. Many of us were quick to recognise that the city was Roman use the the art and buildings!

English

Due to the short weeks we have been doing a review of our sight words and phonics. We have also been practising our writing by sending letters to each other, using whiteboards, our phonic books and playing words games on the smart board.

Maths

Again due to the short weeks we have been honing our knowledge of the maths skills we already have. We have been using our maths centres and Ms Bel's dice to get different numbers to add together. playing different maths board games, practising symmetry drawing and naming different 2D and 3D shapes.

PE

We have been having a great time with Mr Soydan practising our tumbles and exercising.
