Week 6

This is one of our literacy station where the kids are using Kinetic Sand to develop their letter knowledge  by making it and saying the sound the letter makes and key thing is to be able to identify the letters during this  activities.

Dress ups are used as part of our story workshop during literacy time to enhance their experiences and encourage the children to tell us their story. They love dressing up and having girly tea parties. We record their stories and over the next few days they start their writing.

As part of our provocation we have been exploring what the children  think about  the key words in our values.  After a class discussion the children shared their ideas about being courageous using chalk on black paper. Come in and see your child's ideas on the wall.

Very important skill is our handwriting and forming our letters correctly and getting our pen grip sorted out.
