Literacy
The phonics focus in literacy during Weeks 5 and 6 continues to be initial consonant blends.
A blend is... "two consonants that blend together, you hear both sounds".


We have already taught L Blends:
bl, cl, fl, gl, pl, sl

And this week we began teaching R Blends:
br, cr, fr,  (Week 6)  dr, tr, pr, dr

We are currently learning the blue set of sight words.

Our Big Write topic for Week 6 is WA Day. 
Numeracy
Our focus in numeracy currently is on addition number stories up to the value of 5.
An example of this is: if I had 1 blue pencil and 4 red pencils, how many pencils do I have altogether?
Children can then represent this number story with a number bond.
Below is a link for some maths games that could be played at home with your child.

School Holidays You may wish to revise some of the following concepts over the holidays to support our learning from Semester One. 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. Add an adjective = The black spider was in the web.    Sight Words - We continue to revise all introduced sight words including reading, Golden, Red, Blue and Green words.   The children are expected to read these words in isolation and are now beginning to recognise them with in sentences. Phonics - We have focused this

Sports Carnivals 2019 The Kindy/Pre-Primary Sports Tabloid Event in Week 7 was a great success and luckily the weather held off for us. We were very proud of our students and their efforts to participate in the 12 different sports activities.   The points total was tallied and the K/P Carnival Cup was awarded to Orange Faction at the whole school event. A big thank you to all who came to support us on the day.   This year, our whole school carnival was held on Friday 6th September and the Pre-Primary students participated in the march past and flat races.   We have some superstar athletes in the making. Well done to all our students for competing in the running races.   It sure was an exciting day!

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. A reminder that Library Day is Monday, your child should place their library books in their library bag in the green box on Mondays.
