Dear KG2 Families,<\/b><\/p>\n
As always, we are happy to share a little update about our learning and the lovely moments we have shared during our third week together.<\/b><\/p>\n
It has been wonderful to see the children becoming more familiar with our classroom expectations and growing more confident during group work. They are learning to move from one station to another, work with their friends, and enjoy different learning experiences together.<\/b><\/p>\n
In Phonics, we introduced the letter \u201cS s.\u201d The children enjoyed listening to a story and singing the letter S song. They also had lots of fun shaping the letter using playdough and creating an S collage by filling the letter with small pieces of paper. These activities helped develop their fine motor skills while making learning fun. One of the favourite activities was using their \u201cmagic finger\u201d to write the letter S on their friends\u2019 backs!<\/b><\/p>\n
During Mathematics, we introduced the concept of \u201cTall and Short\u201d using real-life examples from our classroom and everyday lives. We also enjoyed a Jack Hartmann song about tall and short, which helped the children understand and practise the concept through movement and music.<\/b><\/p>\n
During our Unit of Inquiry, we continued exploring <\/b>The Colour Monster<\/i><\/b> and talked about different feelings. The children took part in \u201cHow Does My Heart Feel Today?\u201d, where they placed their name under the feeling they were experiencing when they came to school. We also introduced our colour code for different feelings:<\/b><\/p>\n
\ud83d\udc9b Yellow \u2013 Happy<\/b>
\n<\/b>\ud83d\udc9a Green \u2013 Calm<\/b>
\n<\/b>\ud83d\udc99 Blue \u2013 Sad<\/b>
\n<\/b>\ud83e\ude77 Pink \u2013 Loved<\/b>
\n<\/b>\u2764\ufe0f Red \u2013 Angry<\/b>
\n<\/b>\ud83e\ude76 Grey \u2013 Scared<\/b><\/p>\n
We also worked on our \u201cWe Belong\u201d puzzle. Each child decorated one piece of the puzzle by drawing something that represents them. We then put all the pieces together to create one big puzzle. This helped us understand our big idea:<\/b><\/p>\n
\u201cI am part of our KG2 class. Everyone belongs, and every piece is important. We all belong to our class.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n
It was lovely to see the children understand that although each of us is different, we are all an important part of our classroom community. \u2764\ufe0f<\/b><\/p>\n
