Hi Everyone,
Wow what a busy two weeks we have had in Pre Primary 2!
It was wonderful to see so many Mums come to our Mother’s Day afternoon. The children enjoyed spending the first week of the term making biscuits and decorations for the classroom. The children learnt about patterning when making their paper chains and also what sounds are in the word Mum.
Each child wrote a lovely sentence about their Mum in their daily writing books. The children were asked to complete the statement “I love my Mum because” and their responses are on a poster which is displayed on the classroom window.
A huge thank you to all our wonderful Mums who shared this special afternoon with us. I hope you were all spoilt on Sunday as well.
Along with preparing for our Mothers Day afternoon, we have been busy getting to know each other and enjoying the new classroom layout. The most popular area is the home corner, and the children are enjoying dressing up as princesses or knights. The role play has been wonderful to watch, and the children are doing a fantastic job sharing and looking after the equipment and dress ups.
This week, we have been reading “Queen’s Quest” and “The Shiny Knight”. The children have learnt how important it is for a knight to shine his armour and keep it clean. They each traced a template of a crown, cut them out and decorated them with jewels and collage. They all made very regal looking crowns and are looking forward to wearing them and being Pre Primary Kings and Queens.
PP2 students are writing in their daily writing books, and are demonstrating their ability to sound out simple words. All the children are willing to have a go and they are demonstrating fantastic sounding out and letter identification skills. It is wonderful to see how excited they are to write about the topic of the day. The children would love to share their writing with you. The daily writing books will be available in the mornings for you and your child to read their fantastic work.
It has been wonderful start to the term, and I am lucky to have such a wonderful class of enthusiastic, motivated and engaged students. We are looking forward to exploring our Knights theme throughout this term. Be on the
lookout for dragons in the coming weeks!
Thank you,
Mrs Janine Rogers
