Spring is in the air and our treasure unit has started...

We came back from Easter holiday and were very happy to see each other and welcome two new friends to our class! I would like to give a warm welcome to sweet Jonny and Misha. They have settled in so nicely and we are very happy having them in our class.

Spring is in the air so we have enjoyed reading new stories, singing songs and painting our own butterflies out in the sun.

Over the last two weeks we have learnt the ‘d’ and ‘g’ letter sounds and practiced our cutting skills. The children did a great job cutting different pictures of items that start with these two sounds. We have even been practicing how to write the letters 'd' and 'g'.

Our ISG Personal goal at the moment is Morality! We have been using puppets and a traffic light sign to understand what morality means. Now the children know that when they have a problem it’s very important to stop (red light), think (orange light), and make the right decision (green light).

This week we had a fantastic ‘entry point’ to our new IPC unit called ‘treasure’. We discovered an old map that leads to treasure so we decided that we had to go and look for it! We put our bandanas on and together with Upper Pre-Primary we went for a 'treasure hunt'. We followed the signs and found the sweet treasure1 After we ate our chocolate coins we had lots of energy to play in the beautiful garden of St. Pieters abbey.   What a great start to our unit1
