Please return home readers on Tuesdays and Fridays for changing. To have your reader changed, it must be signed off on the parent signature page.
Arriving Late
Unfortuantley Prep White has a number of chidren who are constantly arriving to school late. Can you please try to have your child at school no later than 8.35am, as they are missing the beginning of each day and learning is occuring. If you are late on occassions, can you please take your bag tag to the office to sign in. Bag tags are to stay on your chidl's bag at all times.
Thank you for your support.
Sight Words
We ask that you do not mark the children's sight word books. We will mark the books each week. Could you please ensure to continually go over all the popcorn words, even the ones that are marked as known, as children forget very quickly. Thank you for your cooperation.
Workshops
Our big book this week was Floating and Sinking. Ask your child to tell you ine thing that helps you when it floats? In reading and writing workshops we have explored the 'oi' and 'ch' sound and phonologically, we are learning to blend our letters to make new sounds. We will have a strong focus on this skill for the remainder fo the year. The children will refer to this as using our Chunky Monkey, to help sound out (decode) and write words. In Maths workshops we are learning about the number 1 and its name (one). Our investigation this week has been exploring shapes and using the text Changes, Changes.
Religion
This week we started to explore the Infancy Narraitve from the Gospel of Luke. We have spent time looking at the key characters and events. We will make a christmas card to show our learning from the Gospel of Luke.
Unit Work
This week we have started our Science Unit called 'Who Sank the Boat?' The children investiagted how and why different objects sink and float. In small groups they designed a boat.
Our Value this week is doing your best.
