Christian Education Week

Christian Education week has arrived at our school, so there are a variety of exciting activities happening. 
Wednesday is our Grandparents and Friends day (in the morning) and parent open house (in the afternoon), so we are looking forward to having some special friends come in to our classroom for a visit!

We will also be performing our whole-school production entitled, "The Race". 
Our class has been diligently practicing our songs and gearing up for the Wednesday morning and Thursday evening shows.
It is going to be great, so come on out and enjoy the show!

In between all the practicing, visitors, Easter activities and fun time with our friends this week, we are also busy with a few literacy centres to help us review some of our letters.

Each week we focus on a special book, and this week it is,
"Fletcher and the Springtime Blossoms".
It's a sweet little story and it was our inspiration for our latest art work!


This was the motivation for our latest
Art Masterpieces!

We made our own springtime blossoms!

shades of PINK! :)

Happy April!

Spring has sprung in JK! This week we decorated our Art Gallery with Spring pictures and raindrops!
The children made wax crayon pictures of "spring things" and then we did a paint wash over the raindrops to make them blue.






The snow is melting outside and the air is slowly warming, so we went outside to hunt for signs of Spring. We found lots of puddles, mud, brown grass, buds in trees and birds chirping.
We talked about the order of the seasons and how God makes them follow one after the other. Today we traced the season words and coloured some seasonal pictures.



Here are our new math centres:

Pattern Block numbers

Finishing Patterns AB, AAB, ABB, ABC

Hope you're all getting outside to enjoy the warming weather!
