PK3.3 Dinosaur Roar News!
15th - 19th September 2014
Hello everyone.
Here at ISP, we begin every Monday with our Flag Ceremony. This week it was PK3.3's turn to lead the ceremony for Pre- Kinder and Kinder. Our children held the flag very responsibly and sang along to the National Anthem and our School Song. I was very proud of them!
We are really enjoying our Dinosaur topic. This week we asked the questions 'How do we know about Dinosaurs? and " When and where did Dinosaurs live? We read fact books to tell us how dinosaur bones are found and what is a fossil. We looked at the different types of dinosaurs and how some were BIG and some were very small. We discovered that dinosaurs lived in the water and on the land. We even built our own volcano and cave in our dramatic play area so we can be 'real' dinosaurs! Today are sending home a project for the children to write and illustrate their own dinosaur stories. Please check your childs backpack for details. We look forward to sharing them during our circle time over the next week.
Dinosaur lacing has been helping improve fine motor skills, along with Dinosaur modelling. We used mini marshmallows and toothpicks to make skeletons. The children worked hard to make their own 'skeleton' and did very well not eating the marshmallows along the way!
How does a Dinosaur roar?..........
......like this of course! We have been practicing our Dinosaur moves this week. Roaring, stomping, creeping, eating. Ask you child how many more ways they can describe a dinosaur?
Sunflowers and now beans!
