Literacy - We have now learnt 14 sounds and are using our sound knowledge to blend words.

Kindergarten are enjoying reading our decodable readers during small group sessions. I have also enjoyed watching the children's confidence grow with the practise they have been putting in at home with their homework. A big thank you to all parents and carers for helping your little ones read at home during homework time!

Mathematics - Over the last 2 weeks we have explored number lines, patterns and length during math lessons. The children have created AB patterns using shapes, blocks, beads and natural materials. Our favourite math task at the moment, is "the silent number" where its teacher verses students. We take turns at showing all the different ways we represent numbers 0-10. 

Geography - This term we are learning about "Places We Belong". Students have been learning about different homes and environments where humans and animals belong. We have also identified our school as a place of belonging and how we can continue to care for this space. Over the next 2 weeks we will learn about our community of Adelong.

Health - We are fortunate to have Birdie coming to St Josephs every Tuesday morning during term 2, to teach Kindergarten tennis. The children have learnt fundamental tennis skills and are preparing to learn how to serve this week. Tuesday afternoons we have Nikki Pearce join us to teach Yoga during our Health lesson. The children are thoroughly enjoying learning new yoga poses and practising words of affirmation. We are also learning different breathing techniques to support our bodies.
