Dear Readers,
Another busy fortnight in Readeville. Here are some highlights:
Inquiry: The children have been highly engaged in our latest history and geography inquiry question: What is the best toy ever? The students started by playing their favourite games and then discussed the differences between games and toys. They also had to be researchers and mathematicians when they examined historical photos of toys and had to chart them on a timeline from oldest to newest.
Nature Missions: Our latest nature missions have been create a nature band and follow an insect. The children have been completely immersed in these independent investigations, which require creativity and mindfulness.
Year 1 Nature Play: The year 1 students enjoyed spending last week exploring the nature play garden with Room 15. This experience allowed students with the opportunity to work collaboratively with their peers, problem solve, think creatively and critically and enjoy the sounds of nature. The year 1 students will have their next session in week 10 this term.
Health: As a follow-on from the play Bully No More, we have been investigating what bullying is and where it might happen in our world.
Spelling: We have been testing the children on the Oxford words. Look out for your child’s updated word list in their blue reading folder during the next two weeks.
Special Person’s Day: Look out for notes coming home early this week with information about this important school event.
We hope you enjoy the photos. See you next week
Marie 🙂
