Foundation News…

Each week, the Foundation students begin their week with a 'Word of the Week' from the SMART Foundation spelling program. This program allows us to explore the phonemes in words, and better understand how sounds can be combined to make words. This week, our word of the week was 'snow'. Students learnt that the word 'snow' has 3 phonemes (sounds), which included a digraph 'ow'. 

As our activity to link with this word of the week, we created 'snow in a bag'. We used bi-carb soda & shaving cream and rubbed this together to replicate snow. It was so much fun! We couldn't skip 'snow' week without making a snowman too! Here are some snaps of the fabulous work from the Foundation students this week.
