Dear Parents, 

We are continuing to practice reading and writing. When we read, we read like a river and not like a robot. We are practicing reading with fluency and re-reading for meaning. The HFW we are focusing on are: he, she, me, we, to, the, is, them, there, here, one, ball, all, call, tall, go, no, so, with and this. We also introduced new phonograms sh, ck, ee, ar, th, ch. 

This week in writing we have been focusing on the Saltwater Crocodile and the students have been enjoying learning about the croc.  

In maths we have been exploring positional language using words such as above, below, left, right , under and over to explain an objects position. We have also learnt how to collect data using tally marks and present the data in a graph. 

The Western Cape Region Rural Fire Brigade visited Prep and Year 1’s. The students learned about fire safety and how to respond in emergencies. It was great fun to have them visit us.
