My husband and I sold our first home and have now since bought a new house!
Our weekends and week-nights were so consumed with house hunting that I haven't had much spare time to wrote on my blog.
The Sydney housing market is crazy! We calculated that we went to over 75 open houses before we found THE ONE.
We are now in the final stages of packing and will be moving this week... it is a very exciting and busy time!
Here are a couple of snapshots of the work that has been going on in KS:
The children are getting very clever with Digraphs.
Recently they were learning all about the 'Wh' digraph.
I decided to find a cat template online and wrote the 'wh' sound on it's body.
The children then wrote words with the 'wh' sound on strips of paper.
The strips of paper then became the whiskers of the cat.
This was an easy and enjoyable activity for the children.
Earlier in the year I used the concept of 2D shapes to make "Shape Pizzas" with the children.
The children really enjoyed that activity so I thought I would do something similar again.
I decided because it was Winter and they needed to revise their knowledge of 2D shapes that we could make "Winter Gloves".
I copied a template of a winter glove onto coloured card and then copied shape templates onto coloured paper.
The children then picked the glove colour that they wanted and the shape colour they wanted to use to decorate their glove.
I created a worksheet to go with the activity where they had to count the amount of shapes used on their glove.
I told them they were not allowed to use the same number of shapes twice. This made it a little harder for them and allowed them to practice their number formation too!
I think they turned out great!
The children were so proud of their work:
