The children had great fun this week... pancakes were the highlight! We enjoyed trying out some yummy toppings on our pancakes. We had a choice of chocolate sauce or lemon and sugar. Although we didn't make our own pancakes from scratch this time... we did learn what ingredients are used to make pancakes and the procedure involved. We recorded the procedure on our 'Pancakes' sheet putting special focus on our handwriting. The children did a fantastic job. They are really starting to understand that the written letter requires uniformity (i.e. tall letter, short letters, letters with tails) they also show an understanding that letters need to sit on the line, but NEVER start forming them from the line. We are still only starting our formal teaching of letter formation but the children are off to a fantastic start! Well done everyone! They also had fun adding their own toppings onto their pancakes. I acted as scribe for them here... my favourite topping suggestion was chilly peppers! Flick through the photo and your child will show you their work. The children had fun reviewing their own work and each others. Their task here is to pick 'Two Stars and a Wish' (what they did well and what they can improve on in regards to their handwriting) We started our new 'People who help us in our community' topic this week. Thank you to everyone who brought in resources to use in our play. We did lots of role-play this week and are learning new vocabulary like stethoscope and thermometer for our doctor's surgery. We also opened a bakery with our lovely new play-doh that Ann-Maire made us. Thank you Ann-Maire!! The pink play-doh looks good enough to eat! Well done girls and boys on another week of hard work! You are such Super Stars! Enjoy the weekend.
Regards, Ms Murray
