Firstly, a HUGE congratulations to the students who have returned their Sight Words book this week. We have never had so many students organised for homework. Thank you!!! You will notice a yellow reminder note attached to your child’s bag if we haven’t seen their sight word book by Thursday of each week.

We have enjoyed some outdoor learning recently. As you know we are learning about water in Science. Today we built water cycle models in the sand pit. Each group made their own town with a river running to a central dam, providing each town with water. We built a hills, trees and clouds and named each part of the water cycle. This was a great chance to not only develop our Science knowledge and vocabulary, but also skills for working productively in a team. It provided us with lots of opportunities to learn ways to respectfully communicate our ideas with peers.

We took advantage of having our soft toys at school by enjoying a Teddy Bears picnic on Thursday at second break. It was wonderful to see the students socialising with each other and enjoying the company of their teddies. Our Media stories are coming along well but they are time consuming so we will need our soft toys again next week please.

Thank you!
