Wow, week 10 already. Time flies by when you are having fun. Over the term EY2 has participated in many fun and engaging experiences and learning opportunities.

In English we have been focusing on writing and letter formation. We have used a range of alternate pencils or write with including ipad, keyboard, alphabet chart and Velcro letters. This carries across into our daily writing, signing in of our names and book of the week activities and predictable chart sentences.

In maths we have worked on participating in counting songs, reading numerals, making quantities/counting quantities and beginning to touch on shape and measurement.

During Coach Tim sessions, we we have joined with EY1 to participate in basketball drills and gross motor movement, dancing and group circle games.

Each student has a highlight of the week; an activity that they look forward to and count down the days to.

A, Lucas and Felicity has enjoyed and demonstrated excellent basketball skills, ball handling and shooting hoops.

M and Charlotte has enjoyed sensory letter of the week activities y touching and feeling textured letters and making a sensory alphabet for themselves.

We have all enjoyed listening to the book of the week and participating in BOW activities and predictable chart sentences. The past fortnight we have read the book “I love me” in which we did a body part puzzle, drew our insides and outsides and did a self-portrait collage.

Last Friday we welcomed parents into the class for a visit. They participated in the reading of There was an old lady who swallowed an egg.  Students and parents used symbols of the character to “feed the old lady” as the story was being read.

All in all it has been a wonderful term, and I hope that everyone has a safe and relaxing Easter holiday and return back after the holidays refreshed and ready to go.

From Miss Erin, Miss Kelsey, Lucas, Felicity, Charlotte, M and A
