News from Foundation 

Welcome back to Term 2! This week being a short week, we practiced getting back into our school routines and our classroom expectations! It has been great to see all the kids coming back into the classroom ready and happy to learn!

Literacy Activities

This week for Literacy we practiced the sounds we learnt last term by doing some hands on activities using playdough and coloured salt. The Foundations also practiced reading some books by using these Whisper Phones! Whisper Phones help the kids hear the sounds so that they can blend the words together.

Maths

This week for Maths we have been learning about Location. We used words such as above, below, on top, under, next to, in between etc to describe objects positions. Here we used teddies and talked about what teddies were in front, behind and next to each other.

Walking

To finish off our short week we went for a long walk on the bush walking track and found lots of pine cones! We used them to do some painting of the pinecones and of course glitter! It was so nice to finish of our week in the beautiful nature we have at St Joes.
