Back to School :)

The dinosaur egg

Welcome back to Term 2 in K2. This term our topic is animals so we will be learning and doing lots of activities around this theme. This week we have began our animal theme by looking at dinosaurs. We were very excited when Miss Joanne found a big egg in her garden and after a little research, we found out it was probably a dinosaur egg. We discussed what we could do with it and decided to put it somewhere safe and wait to see what would  happened. To our amazement one day, a baby dinosaur hatched out of it. This week in Literacy, we have been busy finding out information about our pet dinosaur & playing games to help us learn more about other dinosaurs.

Measuring the toy dinosaurs with cubes

 In Numeracy this week, we focused on looking at size and counting objects up to 10. We measured how tall the toy dinosaurs were with cubes and even measured our footprints against a dinosaur footprint.

In phonics, we continued our journey of sounds by learning z, w and ng. We decorated  a 'zebra' for 'z' and sponge painted a 'whale' for 'w'.  

Please continue to practice these sounds every week with your child, along with the 'key words' in preparation for reading this term.

Working in pairs to make a dinosaur with bricks

For topic work this week, we made a 'Stegosaurus' mask using a paper plate & cut out pieces. We really enjoyed this activity.
