Number Snake Game:

What better way to revise our number facts, than to play card games! Here we are playing ‘Number Snake’ - we need to place the cards in order from the smallest to the largest (excluding picture cards). We get to be strategic and choose if we will give a card to our partner or put it in the ‘rubbish bin’ – this all depends on who wins the game! We also have been playing ‘Go Fish’, ‘Order! Order!’ and ‘The Bigger Number’. Grab a deck of cards and play a game with your child!

Handwriting:

Each week, we focus on a letter and practise our letter formation during specific handwriting lessons – this could be on dotted thirds, or a page in our handwriting book. Here you can see we are tracing the letter /b/ - we do this three times before we go off to write. This repetition helps us with directionality – which is super important when writing letters correctly. You should see our amazing handwriting!

IB have been amazing during their sustained morning reading sessions. Students have been reading good fit books for 10 -15 minutes each morning without interruption. It has been wonderful watching them use their reading strategies independently!

1C - Miss Wong

We are learning all about being Bucket Fillers and how we can fill our own and others' buckets by using kind words and actions.
