We are back online!

It's a pleasure to now be familiar with KR's Blog spot and to be finally posting to it!  So a BIG "Hello" from Mrs Jones!

Since becoming KR's teacher we have done a lot together and I have witnessed their amazing development.

Since the last post in March it seems there is so much to catch up on, I hardly know where to start.

Here goes....During term 2 KR has:
~ Visited Healthy (& happy) Harold;

~ Held their first assembly and show-cased some of their work on Road Safety, including their "Stop, look listen" song;

We also had our 'Roads' displayed in the library during Education Week:

 (If you haven't already, visit the library to see all of them!)

~ Had the pleasure of Mr Picken, a 4th year practicum student from the University of Wollongong.  He stayed with KR for 4 weeks and took us all on a 'deep sea' adventure where there were sharks and whales!  KR made fish from their own hand shape and whales out of paper bags!

~ Enjoyed a hot chip lunch for all their hard work (the 'play at the park' is on pause temporarily);

~ Taken part in the Sports in Schools program;

~ Learned many sight words and began to use them in their sentence writing;

~ Learned about 2D shapes; and

~ Listening for and recognising letter sounds in some words.

(and much more!)

So far during term 3 KR has already enjoyed so much!

~ Celebrated Education week;

~ Are beginning to learn about vowel and consonant letters;

~ Focusing on Winter, snowmen, hibernating bears, and raccoons like Chester whilst reading lots of books, like
Sneezy the Snowman

Snowmen all year

The Kissing Hand

Bear Snores On

 

Also ... Joy Berry's books about making good choices, like being careful, treating others kindly and knowing what to do when others do the wrong thing http://www.joyberrybooks.com/en/

~ Introduced 'Chester'

Chester the Raccoon gets to spend the weekend with a lovely KR member and have all his adventures recorded in our special book.  He has already spent the weekend with Amber, Kyan, Charlotte and Kalani.  This weekend he will be at Lauren's house - enjoy!;

~ Learning our dances for the end of year concert;

The Sid

Despicable Me

~ Enjoyed the AFL morning.  KR got to kick and throw a 'footy' around like the professionals!;

~ Getting ready for our 'Walk-a-thon" next Wednesday (21-8-2013) and the Father's Day Stall in Week 7;

~ Writing fabulous sentences about the books we have read, using capital letters at the beginning, full-stops at the end, leaving spaces in between words and writing on the lines!;

~ Looking forward to our Zoo excursion in September; and

~ Beginning to learn about 3D shapes as KR makes a paper mache 'Sneezy the Snowman' (photos to be posted once they are all finished! - can't wait to show them off!).
