Unit Of Inquiry:  Who We Are! 


We talked about what our bodies can do; counting, puzzles, singing and dancing. We drew a family picture and pasted on a house that looked like our own. Thank you to those parents who sent a real picture of your house.  It makes the task more meaningful and realistic to the children. We had great fun creating a puppet of ourselves.

We learnt about our 5 Senses and had fun tasting and smelling different foods.  Most of us were risk-takers and tried lots of different tastes like sweet, sour, salty and crunchy.  We used our eyes to see many things and our ears to hear different sounds.  We experienced different textures and made a 5 Senses hand to remind us of how important these senses are to our lives.  We have a ‘Little book’ about our 5 Senses to read at home. 

Show and Tell is a very important part of the learning process.  Thank you for encouraging your child to bring something of interest and unit related to tell us about. 

Swimming: If your child is not well with a cough or running nose, they should not go swimming.  The water is quite cold now.

Halloween is almost here again.  You can prepare you costume over the break ready for Wednesday 31st October.
