Vinnie’s The Purple Hearts Term 2 Week 8

What did we do this week?

“This week we did craft and morning routine and games and sounds and we did sentence of the week.

“Our sentence of the week was – The bug was on the mug.”

“We went to the park with Sarah’s class.”

What was your favourite thing this week?

“Helping Archana clean the fridge. It was fun pouring the whipped cream.”

 

In Maths, we spend some time making teen numbers from bundles of paddle pop sticks. We focused on making ten and some more to make a ‘teen’ number. We also looked at making equal groups starting with a larger number. Make three equal groups with only 9 counters – etc.

We learned about idioms this week – a phrase that doesn’t really mean what it says. Some of the idioms we looked at this week were “Raining cats and dogs, Letting the cat out of the bag, Butterflies in my stomach”. We also spent time learning about verbs – words that convey an action.

The children were stoked to get their tie-dye shirts from their Craft sessions. In craft this week they made some Femo or Sculptey creations and some abstract collage portraits. The portraits are displayed at the back of our room.

We are still learning about living things, and how they move – with a focus on sea creatures this week.

Our Yoga sessions have been amazing with a mix of ages enjoying Dee’s instructions.

We will be walking up to the library this Monday afternoon.

I hope you have had a great weekend and see you soon!
