Last Friday, K1 showed that they were risk-takers by sharing some of their learning from the current unit, How we Express Ourselves. Their performance of Michael Rosen's 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt' allowed the children to practise their communication and presentation skills while sharing one of the many ways they have explored to tell stories. For a repeat performance, see the video below. It's just as wonderful the 10th time of watching!
This week we have continued our exploration of how stories cause different feelings and how they connect to our experiences by planning our own stories. They have used ideas from familiar stories and from their own experiences to create a plan. Next week they will transfer their plan to create a full digital story.
For the PTA Fun Fair, K1 chose to run a cake stall. We raised $100 and the PTA matched us with another $100 bringing our total to $200, After asking for suggestions from K1 parents as to which charity to donate the money to, the SPCA, who take care of animals, was suggested. Luci kindly organised this and sent the money to them. The SPCA were so grateful for the donation that they sent each child a certificate, which was sent home this week.
And speaking of certificates... Ceyone and Leya received certificates this week for showing creativity through their story making and Olga and Advaith received certificates for showing teamwork in Visual Arts. Well done!
