On Monday, the children practised their short vowel sounds again by working together to find the missing vowel in a three letter word. They are definitely getting better at knowing what sound matches the letter.
In other phonics lessons, we used their phonics books to match upper case letter to their lower case letters such as Ee, Ff, Gh, and Hh. They also looked at pictures of words starting with these letters and had to write what the letter was.
With help from me, the children made sight words cards so that on the holiday they can practise memorising 24 words we have learnt so far. This week's words are: come, see, up, one and help.
In math, we practised our counting up to 100 as well as counting by 2s, 5s and doing simple addition.
Today we used math cards to match the number to a picture of the number such as 6 sticks with the word 'six' and the number 6.
On Tuesday, afternoon we had centre time and played snakes and ladders, puzzles and memory game.
For inquiry, we watched the video Ms Yui filmed of the children as they cleaned up our classroom last week when it got messed up by Ms Aurora. We looked at which students were really working hard to pick up toys as well as they ones that weren't really helping. Luckily almost everyone helped a lot! So this reflection really shows how much better the children understand that teamwork is important.
On Saturday I am flying to Australia (Brisbane and Melbourne) for 3 weeks. I hope everyone has a fantastic break and if your children can do a little handwriting, RAZ reading and practise their sight words that would be AMAZING!
Enjoy summer,
Ms Rachael.
