In Literacy We are revising the single sounds V, P, and J and have started to read the red words an, has and as. We are writing simple sentences using the sight words look, dad, in and like. The students should be able to read all the golden sight words and begin to include them in their writing. We are building our vocabulary in using the words for the parts of our body. Our Big Talk discussion is about playing games. Please ensure guided reading books are being returned on Mondays and Thursdays as other groups will need the books.  Students who do not return their books will not receive another one until it is returned.

Swimming Lessons We would like to thank all the parents for your organisation and preparation in ensuring the children were ready for swimming each day.

It was great to see the students’ confidence in the water and their swimming skills develop over the two weeks.

We wish all our families a safe and enjoyable holiday with their children. The children are on holiday break from Monday 8th July and Term 3 will resume on Tuesday 23rd July. English Handwriting - This term the children have been participating in handwriting lessons, focusing on the formation and positioning of upper and lower case letters. Adjectives - adjectives are words that describe a noun. The children have been adding adjectives to sentences to make them sound more interesting. i.e. The spider was in the web.

Phonics - We have focused this
