Term 1 Week 10 work
Welcome to Term 1 Week 10 in Room 3
Here are your tasks for this week. You will notice that work has been set for Friday which is also Good Friday. It is completely optional whether you do work on this day, save that work for another day or do not complete it at all.
Please feel free to continue taking pictures of work that you are proud of and post them onto your blog or email them to your classroom teacher. Remember that this is flexible online learning so please feel free to fit the work in around your family schedule.
We also have a special treat and familiar face this week. Miss Donnell has recorded herself reading stories and uploaded these onto Youtube. The daily link you see on this blog post is to a different story each day. We hope you enjoy them.

Let's get outside and do some writing in this beautiful weather !

On a concrete patch outside, write all the letters you know (what sounds do they make?), write your name too. Maybe you can also write some of your ‘high frequency words’ that you have been learning in your homework book, or you may remember some of the words from our word cards that we use at writing time. Have a go !!!

Today you are going to play cards. A lot of card games require you to read/recognise, and use numbers in the right way, for example, snap, go fish, and last card. If you do not know how to play these games, then ask a family member to teach you. You can play snap all by yourself too ! Once you have learnt these games, they will be a lot of fun for you to play over and over again.
Now go to www.matific.com - complete at least 4 tasks that your teacher has set.

Art: Draw a teddy bear, add a bow or maybe your bear could be holding a balloon. Colour it in and place it in the window for others to see.
