Every year the children continue to amaze me with their skills! To watch them sit and down and be able to write a sentence about absolutely anything (and for me to be able to read it) is fascinating! Look out because I'll be sinding home some terrific writing samples soon! I hope it's yours!
Phonics:
This week we are just learning about "ie" as in pie.
The children are remembering so many sounds now! Try saying some words and getting your child to write them down. Here are a few to get you started:
tie, boat, pat, rob, frog, stick, drip, tram
If your child is managing these words then try some more words that have two consonants at the beginning. Such as: black, crab, drip, from, groan, train, club, flap, plain, slap, skin, spud, step
Lots More Games
I found this terrific website the other day when I was looking for some more fun maths games. I've also included the links for some of my favourites too!

Simultaneous Reading
On Wednesday morning all of the Kindy students walked down the street to the town library. We had been invited by Mrs Walton for the annual Simultaneous Reading Day. At 11 o' clock Father Glen started reading "Feathers for Phoebe". At precisely the same time, in libraries all around New South Wales, other students were also listening to the same story! It was a great story about accepting people just as they are! We had a great time and were so glad that it sisn't rain on us while we were walking!
Thankyou Mrs Walton and Father Glen!
