Week 8
Week 8
WOW what a week we had last week. It has been pleasing to see so many of our
children taking responsibility for washing their hands, covering their coughs
and sneezes and making sure they blow their noses and dispose of their tissues.
Throughout the day the teachers are disinfecting tables,
door handles and play equipment. Can you
please make sure you speak with your child about good hygiene as well as how we
can safely greet our friends and teachers when we arrive at school.
It is very important for unwell children to stay at
home. If your child has a cough, runny
nose or is generally feeling unwell PLEASE keep them at home to stop the spread
of germs and bugs in our class. If your
child will be absent remember to let the school office know. You can do this via the School App.
Due to the Covid-19 outbreak we will no longer be having
school singing, liturgies or Masses. We
will still focus on our Special Character and have small class Liturgies. This week we will celebrate The Annunciation
(where Mary was told she would be the Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ).
Our focus during play this week will be Music and Visual
Art. The children will be able to
create, design and play in this learning area.
If you have any empty plastic bottles, cardboard boxes or a pile of
rubber bands you no longer want could you please bring them to school. We are going to create sweet music with the
things we find around our homes!
We have been so impressed with the children as they practise
their reading at home and at school. You
can support your child’s reading at home by reading with, and to them. You can also help them by encouraging them to
identify letter sounds of different words, a great game to play is “I spy”.
The teachers have been providing the children with
opportunities to solve Maths problems.
The children have enjoyed working together to add and subtract to solve
different problems. An easy way to
support your child in maths at home is to get them to help set the dinner
table, ask them to count the knives and then count the forks. Can they add the knives and forks together to
get a bigger number? Children love Maths
when they can see a real life connection.

can support your child in Maths at home.
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday and we look forward to seeing
you all tomorrow,
Sara, Lorraine and Sany - Joy.
