K2 UISGZ Newsletter Week of 27

th
October 2014
Last week K2 classes were joined by Ms Jill as we
investigated reading. We enjoyed some Piggie
and Elephant stories, and pracitced moving our
bodies to a beat. We also moved our bodies to
recreate parts of a story, and used puppets to
make reenact a story. Puppets were also used to
make up our own stories in pairs. We really
enjoyed our time with Ms Jill and look forward to
having her with us again this week.

In our UOI this week we are looking at rights and
responsibilities. We will be thinking about jobs that
our family members do in the home. Later this
week we will send home a survey for the children
to complete with their family on who is
responsible for what jobs at home.
