25th 29th January

Dear KG1 Parents,

Eating a healthy, balanced diet is really important and from a young age it is essential that children are encouraged
to make healthy choices about their food. Therefore, we promote a healthy lifestyle here in KG1. Lunch boxes
should contain a variety of food including fruits and vegetables. This will give children energy to play and keep
them focused throughout the whole day. Finally, please remember we are a nut free school when you are making
choices about your childs lunch.

Our Unit of Inquiry How We Express Ourselves

Students have been discussing and learning about our central idea: Through play we express our
feelings and ideas to help us come to new understandings.
This week we will be continuing with our second line of inquiry into Imaginative Use of Materials.
Students will be given a range of different materials from outdoor toys to recycling and creative
materials, and asked to create a new game or discover a new way to play with the materials.

Language
We will focus on a review of all the sounds we have learned so far.
The previously taught letter sounds are Ss, Aa, Tt, Pp, Ii, Nn, Cc, Kk, Ee, Hh, Rr, Mm and Dd. Review of
these letter sounds is always recommended both at home and school.

Mathematics
In Math, we will continue to look at patterns and ways of making patterns through play. We will also be
looking to make connections and find patterns in the school environment. See what patterns you can
create or find at home.
