In our circle time, we discussed how we are all different and what makes us special. We also discussed our favourite things, such as colours and fruit, and how some of us like the same things whilst others like different things.
We painted our self-portraits – we looked carefully in the mirror at our skin, hair and eye colour and learned that we are all different and unique.
The children were also very excited to share their weekend diaries with their friends and teachers – what a busy bunch; we loved hearing their weekend news!
Congratulations to Alyssa who completed her level 4 Duckling award in swimming ; she can jump in, go underwater, float and travel 10 metres without support – very well done! If your child has been rewarded with a certificates, trophy or medal for co-curricular activities out of school, such as gymnastics, rugby, football, please do send them in so that we can celebrate their successes just like the older children do in their assembly.
We have introduced the role of Class Helper – each day a child’s name is taken from an envelope and, if they want to, they can be the Class Helper for the day. The role involves the following: counting how many children are in class each day and serving the fruit at snack time. Additionally, they may be first in the line and are called upon to assist the teachers with daily tasks in Kindergarten.
We continue to learn about Our Golden Rules, this week focusing on ‘Do Listen’ and ‘Do Work Hard’. We talked about the importance of using our ears and our eyes when listening to our friends and teachers.
Our topic next week is The Little Red Hen.
