Newsletter 10.03.17

This week in F2T, we continue to focus on our talk4writing book which is The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Some  of our amazing F2 children are already able to re tell the story in their own words. They have also showed lots of interest in mark-making and are beginning to create their very own story maps. A lot of the children also attempted to sequence the story using our sequencing cards. 

In our carpet sessions this week, we talked about being respectful at all times. We are learning to be respectful to our friends/teachers, our environment and our resources. In the next few weeks, we will be keeping Rory Respect in our class to remind us of the good choices we need to make. 

To continue develop children's confidence in speaking both in big and small groups, they carry on taking turns in sharing what's inside their all All About Me Bags. The children are very proud of their favourite toys from home and are becoming more confident in using a variety of english words to describe their toys.

The children are also enjoying our music sessions with Mr Jon. They have been particularly good in dancing to some familiar songs such as Na Na Na, I Know A Chicken and Shake Your Sillies. In the Library, F2 have now mastered their routine when borrowing books. They have also been working hard on listening and responding to their teachers during story time. We are encouring children to ask lots of question and to also respond to who, what, where, why and how questions. 

How to help your child at home:
Play simple jigsaw puzzles

This will allow your child to learn patience, solve problems and develop their hand-eye coordination.

Natural resources
Looking after our natural resources such as plants, pets and other living things is always a good choice. Please remember to talk to your child about the importance of caring for these living things.

Independence
In F2, we always encourage the children to be independent and do things on their own such as feeding themselves, dressing up, washing their hands before mealtime or using the toilet. Please encourage your child to do the same at home. You may also want to give them simple tasks such as setting the table for dinner or putting toys away after play time.
