The Ladybirds Week 5 Term 1

We kicked off Week 5 by starting our months of the year song, adding a fun little dance to go along with it. The kids seem to love it so much that it’s now a class favourite, and you can often be heard being sung on the playground! On Tuesday, we were excited to have the preschoolers come down for a sing-along, where we had a blast singing and dancing together.

In STEM, we finally made our long-awaited ice blocks! We began by discussing molecules and atoms, followed by a fun game where the students pretended to be molecules in different states of matter – liquids (juice) and solids (ice). After that, we juiced our fruit and created delicious ice blocks, which we enjoyed on Tuesday afternoon.

In sport, we continued practising our fundamental movements, focusing on passing through relays and games. In maths, we continued our investigation into different representations of numbers as well as started learning about 2D shapes, discussing the differences between circles, triangles, squares, and rectangles.

Wednesday was full of creativity, in craft, we made vibrant glittery masks in preparation for the Carnaval Parade. We also performed a dance we had been practising in Spanish, adding to the fun and excitement.

A big thank you goes out to the parents who helped move furniture on Friday afternoon in preparation for the floor repairs. Your support is always appreciated!

Finally, we’re gearing up for our first swimming lesson this Tuesday afternoon! A reminder that the kids aren’t able to get changed at the pool and will need to travel to and from the pool in their swimmers.

With Love,

Meg (and Sarah D)
