Transport!
Our new topic transport has been a huge success. The children just love it! So this week we have been learning all about transport in the sky! Through play we have been learning about aeroplanes, hotair balloons and all things that fly. Here are just a few ways we have been exploring our new topic...
We made our own planes...
We have been discussing and learning all about hot air balloons... We talk about what we already knew, what we wanted to learn, and then after researching on the web and in books we were able to answer all our questions.... We even made our own hot balloons!
...and of course we have to have one big enough to take a trip on, but only when the weather conditions are suitable for flying!
The ticket office has never been busier... everyone is looking to get away somewhere sunny what with all this cold weather!
When introducing a new topic we always practice our role-play to learn about the different roles we can introduce into our play and the type of language we might use, it is also an opportunity to practice our sequencing, first, next, finally. A massive THANK YOU to Sofia's mammy for donating some tickets, bag tags and other REAL airport goodies! They are perfect for for our play!

Tricky Words
We have been practicing our tricky words in class. These are words that have a 'tricky part' that does not follow the rules we have learnt. So we just have to learn them off by memory. I will send home a list in the back of their Wordbox copies after the mid term break. I went through the word boxes on Friday... the children are trying very hard. I'm hearing some lovely smooth blending! When your child can read them all well they will move onto the next box. Please do a little practice every night. It is the repetition of this practice that will help them improve.
Have a great weekend! Reminder that next week the school will be closed on Thursday and Friday for midterm break. See you Monday.
