Learning opportunities
"K4 students continue to have the opportunity to experience a variety of different learning opportunities."
Students demonstrate a literacy behaviour that enable beginning writers to communicate. They experiment with a variety of simple writing forms.
"Students also have had the opportunity to demonstrate their interest in writing".
As a whole group, we are working on exploring sounds, rhythms and language structures, recognizing and making a difference between letters and numbers. They also demonstrate the ability to take turns during activities and discussions.
During the outdoor learning, the students are exploring different elements of design ( colour, line, shapes and forms ) in visual arts activities.
