Term 1 Week 6



Wow! We are half way through term 1 already!  This term is flying by, probably because we have been so busy!

 

 

This week has been all about the letter 's'.  On Monday we discovered that Alphie the Alphabet Worm was missing one of his letters.  By singing the alphabet we worked out which one we thought it was and then we hunted all over the playground for it.  We found it hidden in one of the tunnels.

 



 

We talked about the name of the sound and the sound the letter makes.  The letter s makes a 'sssss' sound like a snake.

 

We drew pictures of things that started with s and some s' in the sandpit.

We also covered an s with some sparkly stars.

We played with spaghetti.  We thought of lots of words to describe it..... slimy, slippery, squishy.

We also used some spaghetti to make a spaghetti picture.  It was a bit tricky picking up that slippery spaghetti.

Check out our fantastic spaghetti art.

Then we decorated our own letter s with stars and made a spectacular sparkling star.

Mrs P organised some new things for our playground.  We have a stop and go sign so the bikes have to follow the road rules.

We also have a bike stop which is kind of like a bus stop but we are waiting for a turn on the bike.  Thanks Mrs P.

 

 

It is Saint Patricks Day on Sunday so we watched a video about St Patrick and then made our own shamrock so we could teach our families about the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, just like Saint Patrick did.

 

If you want to watch the story of Saint Patrick you can check it out here.

Check out these two superstars.  They did an amazing job coloring in Goldilocks and the Three Bears and they have cut them out so carefully.  Fantastic work!
