It has been so nice to come together again after the Easter break.  So much has changed – new haircuts, lost teeth, wobbly teeth, some are inching taller and taller (with every meal it seems) and yet despite these physical changes a deep sense of belonging has settled in our space.  We have commenced Term 2 with counting and grouping: apples, stars in the sky, flowers, caterpillars and bales of hay.  Discovering and exploring possibilities and patterns.  We start each week guessing how many marbles are in the jar.  Some of our classmates have a precise eye, while others like to increase their chances with “more than” or “less than”.

Maths bookwork and comfy cushions

Our braided skipping ropes and Mothers Day gifts

We have lovingly weaved a gift for our mums and finished our cushions.  We have started to skip with our individual skipping ropes and have started to play the recorder with “Charlie over the Ocean”.  This term we intend to deepen our story work beginning with the fairytale of “Iron John”, culminating in puppetry and shadow play.
