Hello Foundation Families!

This week in Writing, we adapted the tale of Humpty Dumpty to create our own version of the story. Students showed creativity by changing the solution, with Humpty Dumpty landing on trampolines, bouncy castles and swimming pools instead of breaking. It was wonderful to see students using openers to sequence the beginning, middle and end of their story and beginning to use adjectives to add additional detail and description. 

In Maths we have been learning about position and location. We explored numerous key words to describe the position of objects and focused on giving our peers clear instructions. We then used our creativity to design our own treasure map and used our key word knowledge to describe where we hid the treasure. 

This week in Guided Inquiry, we learnt about Coober Pedy. We went out into the sandpit to try to make our own underground houses. You can see some of our marvellous creatives in the photos below. 

Kind Regards,

Tegan, Emma and Ash
