Please complete the e-notice you have received on Gateway about our visit to the LEAP Centre on 7th September.
All children need a school hat and water bottle every day. Please ensure they are clearly labelled with your child’s name.
The children enjoyed our Colours Day today. It was great to see all the children in bright house colours.
The children have been inquiring into the different food groups and what makes a healthy and balanced meal. They have also been looking at different ways to relax and have tried Cosmic Yoga and Zen Doodles.
The children have continued to concentrate on the correct placement of capital letters and full stops in their writing and have started to look at retelling stories.
In Maths, the children have continued to read, write and model numbers. They have also been practising skip counting.
Central idea: Lifestyle choices can affect human health and well-being
Lines of inquiry:
- What it means to have a balanced lifestyle
- The choices we make affect our health
- Lifestyle changes
The children will be exploring what relationships are and how they affect our health and well being.
The children will visit the LEAP Centre on Thursday where they will further explore healthy lifestyles.
CENTRAL IDEA: We represent numbers and number relationships using the place value system
LINES OF INQUIRY:
- Ways to present numbers
- How we count numbers
- The Base ten place value system

The children will continue to use a variety of equipment to apply place value to partition and rename three digit numbers. They will practise skip counting in 2s, 5s and 10s starting from zero.
Over the next few weeks, the children will also start to interpret data collected from fitness trackers that they will be using during the school day to count their activity.
Mandarin – All children are encouraged to take a reading book home on the days when they have Mandarin lessons.
