We are learning the names of all the Letterlanders, their letter name and the sound they make in words. We like making actions as we say the sound the letters make.
We hope you enjoy these photos of some of our favourite things to do in the playground.
A water fountain is great after all that playing.

 We hope you enjoyed our 'curling cats'. We were learning about Clever Cats sound.


We played Frozen Beanbags. Try not to drop your beanbag, if you do wait for a friend to save you.
Jackson came up with another way to play the game. In his version no one could save you. 
Which way did you like to play the game?

We enjoy doing lots of different learning with our school friends.


Greedy Cat


We loved painting Greedy Cat today.
We will show you our final artwork soon.
