GRANDPARENTS DAY

GRANDPARENTS DAY: WEDNESDAY 24th of June

Hi PPH families, 

In the OLC newsletter is information regarding 'Grandparents Day'. This Wednesday your child's grandparents are very welcome to come and visit Pre-Primary and the school on Wednesday morning from 9am-11am. 

They can come into PPH and enjoy sharing the morning session with their grandchild. This might involve some classroom art activities, games and stories.There might even be a special song performed by the children for their special grandparents. 

If they need to share their time with other siblings that's more than fine and can move between rooms. 

Children whose grandparents cannot attend will be involved in all activities and will also make something special to take home. 

Looking forward to seeing all grandparents on Wednesday. 

Miss Horrocks:) 

Congratulations to the Hutton Family

Sorry about this belated message to the Hutton family but I was waiting for a beautiful photo to post.

Congratulations! to Nina and her family for the beautiful arrival of baby Liam. PPH are so happy to hear of a new little member to our Green Room family and excited for Nina to have another little brother. 

We were lucky to meet Liam during Nina's news in Week 6. Please keep the precious visits coming...

Week 8 merit award winners and some broad bean news

Well done to the following super stars for receiving their merit awards this week.

Skyla Boyes and Sian Roberts

Happy birthday to Jordy

This week your child brought home their broad bean that they have been watching grow for a couple of weeks. They did a great job looking after them and for their efforts they all received a certificate of adoption. 

Madi's plant had grown the tallest measuring 19 blocks tall. The children counted their block towers to see how tall theirs had grown. They were very clever mathematicians and many had to count into their teens. We use our numbers all the time in Pre-Primary. 

If your child would like to see theirs grow into a bean pod, below are some further instructions to continue to look after the broad bean plant: 

Happy growing!

What a great day it was learning about the letter Y sound.

Week 5, Term 2

Hi everyone!
 Step into Week 5 with us...

The story of the Week was  " Jack in the Beanstalk". We studied the letter sound J for  Jack. Jordy, Joe and Jaz were put on the sound tree. The children made their own beanstalks with castles at the top of them just like they heard in the story. The children joined in every time to the chorus  " Fe Fi Fo Fum'. It's always exciting when we meet new characters just like the big and scary Giant.

In mathematics, the children received their own bag of magic jellybeans and sorted them into their colours.We then looked at the concepts more than and less than. The activity helped the children think about if their number is greater than or smaller than another number. Working with numbers can be fun and yummy!   

Don't forget our real life beans! We are watering them and watching them grow every week. We hope they grow nice and tall. The children listened to a story called the 'Lucky Seed' on the interactive whiteboard. They learnt all the things they needed to look after their plant; sun, water and soil. Ask your child about the buffalo in the story and they will tell you why the seed was very lucky.

Later on in the week we looked at the letter sound " V' for vase and volcanoes. The most exciting part of our week was when we made ERUPTING VOLCANOES! what a blast the children had.

TEAMWORK!!! building mountains together.
