Fourth Term

We are deep into our concert practices as I am sure you are hearing about with much excitement from your children. The children are learning well. The concert will take place pg on November 23rd at 8:30 in our classroom. Please save the date.

The topic we are learning about now is the four seasons. On our interest table is displayed pictures and books relevant to this subject. Each child will produce a beautiful picture depicting the seasons and they will learn a rhyme for each one.

Working with shapes we have been producing pictures using the imagination. The children have been creating pictures using different mediums and making collages for our walls.

We are busy practising writing our numbers to prepare us for pre-grade. We painted colourful numbers on our easel.

The children are enjoying learning about the Parshas and they enjoy making a craft for Shabbos to take home.

Have a good week,
Morah Esther

We are currently learning about Elul and Tishrei. The children now understand the concept of the king in the field. They have drawn beautiful pictures and are trying to be extra good and kind.

We have started learning about Rosh Hashonah and are working on our beautiful Machzor. The children are working very hard and are gaining many skills and knowledge through this experience.

We have been very busy learning all about our five Senses. The children thoroughly enjoyed bringing in their various items for the interest table, and going round the ring for each child to, feel, touch, smell etc.

Please send an item with your child for the sense of 'hear', as soon as possible.

We have painted, collaged, drawn and coloured, our faces, and hands in conjunction with our 'Senses project.

For Shabbos we will be doing the sense of 'Taste', please can you send a treat with your child which we will give out during our Shabbos Party.

We are discussing all about Winter, and what happens with the trees, leaves and grass etc, and the type of clothes we wear. We have painted a Winter tree which will be displayed shortly.

Our class will be performing a short show in honour of Gimmel Tammuz (The Rebbe's Yortzheit) which I am sure you are hearing about from your children. They are very excited and have memorised their songs and lines, and almost finished their costumes.

Parents are welcome to come and watch the children for the last dress rehearsal, which will take place on Monday June 14th-Beis Tammuz, in our classroom at 9:00 am iyh.

We started learning about number and number values during Sefiras Ha'omer and the children have grasped these concepts well and are able to answer questions related to this with ease. They are beginning to recognize the 2 digit numbers and to identify them correctly.

We are now concentrating on the 5 senses. When you come to our class take note of the pictures representing this and our display table. This week we are starting with the sense of smell. Please send with your child something that smells to put on our display table which all the children will then get a chance to smell. With this sense we will teach the children to identify sweet, sour, strong, pleasant etc... also adding in their vocabulary.

We are painting and making a beautiful 7 branch Menorah which is spoken about in the Parsha, working on the diagonal shape.

Our thick Kokies are running out! PLEASE SEND IN A PACK OF NEW THICK FAT KOKIES NOT THIN ONES!!!!
