Aussie Kids Week 5 term 2

Hello everyone!

We hope you have had a chance to swim in the amazing reef that used to be the purple room. We were inspired by the reef that has been crocheted by hundreds of people, including the ever-creating Sue, that is currently on display at the Powerhouse Museum. The day after we made the reef, a crocheted sea slug and piece of coral appeared in the room. Thank you, Sue, for the beautiful and inspiring art!

We have been studying the letter t and blends including ch, reinforcing numbers to 30 and place value. We have been talking about the language around measuring length.

There has been a lot of talking among the children about getting married and babies and all the information around these topics. We will be beginning discussions soon answering their questions,  so if you would like to have this conversation with your child before we do, at home, that would be great.

Today we are having the discussion again about hats and sunscreen now it is getting hotter. Please send a hat each day. If you have any spare hats at home that you would like to donate that would be wonderful to build our class collection.

Michael joined us yesterday as Sarah was taking Olivia’s class. It was great to have him with us and he helped to write the wonderful descriptions of sea creatures and features that fill our reef. Come in and have a read sometime!

Take care!

Fran, Jo, Sarah and Michael
