Amelia’s Class Week 6 Term 2

Hi everyone,

This week the children have continued to learn about navigation, directions and mapping. On Monday using grid paper, the children drew a treasure map or a map of a chosen area such as their neighbourhood or even Currambena. Afterwards, they had to use some of the language we learnt last week to write directions for a friend to journey from one point to a specific object or landmark.

On Thursday as part of our unit of work ‘All Around the World’, Jess’ and my class dressed up and spoke about a particular outfit or item from their family’s cultural background. Jess and I were so pleased to see some of the beautiful costumes that the children wore or brought in as well as some significant objects or instruments. A lot of our children are still getting used to talking in front of a large group and I was so proud to see almost everyone get up and speak about their culture, whether they brought something in or not! It was a really lovely afternoon to share with one another and learn more about other cultures or countries. It was also fantastic to have so many of you there for the end-of-day parade, I know the children were so excited to have you all included!

I hope you all have a very restful long weekend.
