Dear Parents / Guardians

Our story for the week was Little Red Riding Hood. Students made puppets to retell the story to each other. We have been focusing on segmenting and blending consonant, vowel, consonant (cvc) words e.g. cat. 

One of the activities that we do in class is called a lucky dip where students are able to pull an item out of the bag and then tell us what the item is and what it starts with. If the item is a hat students even have a go at sounding the word out and writing it down; e.g /h/  /a/ /t/ and writing the beginning middle and end sound down. 

In maths we are continuing with the calendar in the morning and the concept of how long events take to do. We are also counting forwards to 20 and beyond and backwards from 20. Students are answering simple questions to collect information and make simple inferences. 

In Science we have been looking at waterproof and sun smart hats and students designed and made their own hats. They used different materials to make their hat sunsmart and waterproof.
