This week's "Book of the Week"  is the enchanting Magic Beach by Alison Lester.  We will move into the imitation phase, where children will focus on the story structure identifying the beginning, middle and end. This will involve activities such as retelling the story with actions, creating story maps and performing the text aloud. This phase is to provide a solid foundation through understanding and practising the language patterns and structure of the text. 

​

Our Keywords are "Invisicble", "Moat", "Ferry", "Dazzle", "Navigate" and "Beacon"​

​​​​

Our rhyme of the week is "Twinkle Twinkle litte star and Chocolate Bar"

Home Learning:  Sinking and Floating​

Explore the concept of sinking and floating with your child using a simple and fun home activity. Gather various small household items such as a spoon, a cork, a plastic toy, and a pebble. Fill a basin or a large bowl with water and encourage your child to predict whether each item will sink or float before placing them in the water.

Discuss the outcomes and encourage curiosity by asking questions like, "Why do you think this item floats?" or "What makes this one sink?" This hands-on experiment helps develop critical thinking and scientific exploration skills in a playful way.
