Dear Parents,
This week we have explored the letter E. It was a little confusing
to some of the boys as it makes different sounds as in elephant and easter, and also sounds a lot like the letter I! However we managed to
brainstorm a huge list of "E" words.
We also received an email
from Mrs Bishop who is still on her holiday in Asia and the boys decided they
wanted to write back to her. We talked about how you format a letter with
a beginning, middle and end. They told her all about the Princesses Tea Party
and what the weather has been like in Adelaide.
The boys have
drawn their self-portraits this week while observing themselves in the
mirror. Their fine motor skills have really developed since they did this same
task in Term One. At the light table the boys observed slides and created their
own on translucent paper.
Outside there has been some amazing space themed play in the form
of space ships and rockets being constructed and meteors being formed in the
sandpit. While on the grass a competitive game of AFL took place with The
Adelaide Crows versing The Geelong Cats!
As the Edgerley café is up and running the boys decided they
needed some food to sell. Rana, Ben's mum, came in and did some cooking with
the Tuesday boys. They made delicious cupcakes which were devoured very quickly
by many satisfied customers. Come in and have breakfast some time. Once the
café's rent expires Lucas and Aadeesh have requested a hair salon takes its
place. They were practicing some interesting styles on Mrs McKenzie this week!
Best wishes,
Emma, Amelia and Ty
