In Language, we have continued to look at book conventions such as the title, the author and the illustrator. Ask your child about these during your nightly reading. Our letter of the week is "g" and our word of the week is "go". We buttered our "go" poem and then came up with words that rhymed with go. Some children find rhyming a difficult concept so if you could continue to practise it at home, it would be very beneficial. Make it fun by turning it into a game. We often practise rhyming in class as well as read a lot of rhyming books to teach the concept. It is ok if the word is not an actual word (eg cat - gat) as long as they understand how to rhyme.
In Math, we are continuing to look at numbers and what make up each number. Many of the students are enjoying simple addition through games. We are also continuing to explore 2D shapes. It has been fun finding shapes all around us in our school environment! We are finding triangles, rectangles, squares, circles, pentagons, hexagons and octagon. We have been talking about the number of sides each shape has and what the differences are between these shapes.
Here are some pictures from the week:
