What a busy week 3 the children had.
Last week the children were learning the letter a and t sound.
Avalon made it on our sound tree.
For the study of the t sound, the children were discovering how tall they were and measuring their bodies with streamers. We learnt that we all may be a different height because we are all different in many ways. They practised the formation of the letter t... our school way
A stick with a tick and a cross through the middle that's the way we write the letter t. The children had a go forming the letter in sand, with play dough, on the iPads, painting them then having a go on the whiteboards.
The class loved listening to our letter t song.
For the study of the a sound we made ants on apples. I was impressed that the class came up with alien and astronaut for our whole class brainstorm.
When practising the letter a sound at home. The children learn...
We start at the top, go across the sky and down to make a belly with a stick and a tick.
We hopped in and out of hoops practising hearing and saying all our S A T P I N letter sounds.
Wednesday I had two Pre-Primaries rush up to me from the bathrooms saying they found " t for tap". It's wonderful to see the children learn that they can hear the letter sounds everywhere.
A reminder that we have our 'p' day on Tuesday the 24th of February. The children can come dressed in their pyjamas. They can bring in their toothbrush and toothpaste to help take care of their teeth after a breakfast of pancakes YUM YUM! The children can pack their uniform in their bag just incase they want to change out of their PJ's.
Thank you to the parents who said they can help with the cooking of the piklets.
