A great week of learning YET AGAIN.
Let us know what you enjoyed hearing about this week http://padlet.com/wall/lsdw8km6syuc
Request : Would anyone be willing to make a big batch or red , yellow and blue playdough for our Friday class ? I'd be most grateful if you would.
If you have not sent in the permission slip for our hospital visit please do so by Monday.
Swimming is now over.
Are you keeping an eye on events coming up - I list them on the side bar to the right. ( IF I forget something just let me know)
If your child asked to bring home a spelling challenge please congratulate and encourage them - we are doing these at school but some wanted to 'fast track' their HIgh Frequency' words. True learning stems from curiosity and motivation. Embrace this, these children are well on their way to becoming intrinsically motivated.
I got this fabulous email from Miss Imogen today after music

Hi Mary,
Please let G1MLN know what a fantastic lesson we had today. They showed great resilience in trying to play the angklung in the right place & be good self-managers.

And now for the week:
And now for the week:
The highlight for me was our Service with Happy Lodge. The residents came in to school and we served them biscuits with drinks, entertained them with music and painted with them. It's nice to see the children becoming more comfortable with the elderly residents. Thanks so much to the parents who also came to support us.
YES , WE DID ! We made 'blood' at school this week... Real blood doesn't have pompoms and cheerios... so ask your child what these represented.
I was amazed at some of the Wonder Wall thoughts. Ask your child what they contributed to the Wonder Wall in Unit of Study this week
Here is a video some wanted me to add so they could watch it again.
By breaking down a story in to these categories...
Setting, Characters, Problem, Solution , First, And then, Finally We found it easy to retell a story in depth.
Please ask your child to retell their stories in depth when they read at home. This ensures a deep understanding and a much stronger reading comprehension.
Have you been checking out the POETRY TAB ABOVE? Here is an example of someone taking their learning home and trying a Poetry Voice cast. Well done !
Guess where Flat Stanley is.
Please keep these coming we are going to use all our Flat Stanley contributions to teach mapping skills !
