Good afternoon,
What a fabulous week we have had!
Numbers and counting have been our focus for this week and we have been working closely with Miss Yorkston to demonstrate our counting and number recognition skills. We have enjoyed participating in many different number songs to practise counting forwards. Check out the videos of our favourite counting songs which have been uploaded to Seesaw.
This week we also learned what it means to be a good learner (learner attributes) We met 3 of our 6 jungle friends who live in our classroom, Gordon the ‘Give it a go’ Gorilla, Percy the persevering Parrot and Colin the concentrating Crocodile. Each animal reminds us that a good learner gives things a go and tries our best, perseveres and concentrates'. We practised using these skills in class, giving our songs and rhymes a go, persevering during our Daily Miles and concentrating during story time in order to be successful in the `quizzes` which followed. We look forward to meeting the other 3 animals next week.
The highlight of the week however was completing the challenge of the ‘Daily Mile.’ We were all extremely proud of ourselves to have managed to run, jog or walk 3 laps of the playground. ‘Daily Mile’ will not only help us develop our fitness levels, it will also help develop our learner attributes. We are looking forward to completing more daily miles in the future.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you for using i-pay impact at home to pre-book lunches and to remind you that if you like to add your childs lunch choices all in one go, the next 3 weekly booking cycle starts again from Monday.
Have a lovely weekend!
Miss Yorkston
