We’ve been learning about making safe choices to protect ourselves. But what happens when things go wrong? Then you might need to get help from an emergency helper in the Police, Fire Brigade, or Ambulance service.

Everyone has feelings. You can see them on faces and bodies, or you can use your words to express them. If you feel something inside, tell someone! Then they can understand you better and we can all feel loved!

“A tisket, a tasket,
A red and yellow basket,
I took a letter to my love,
And on the way I dropped it!”

Kindy are beginning to learn about place value in numbers. The numeral has a different value depending on what place you put it. We are starting out with 2-digit numbers and imagining a line down between the 2 digits. Only one digit can fit in each place. The place on the right is called units or ones, and the place on the left is called tens. We use groups of tens, and single items on their own to make the number. So if we made the number 15, we need one group of ten (we like bundles of paddle-pop sticks, or rows of blocks), and 5 on their own.

Here are some games to practice.

• Base Ten Modelling
• BT Bear
• Expanded Form 
• Partitioning 
• Shark Numbers

This week, K-Henri performed their assembly item. It was called Hoedown Throwdown (but we call it Boom Boom Clap). We practiced the dance for a long time. We also made a picture together by our class artist, Henri Rousseau. Mrs Klose felt very proud, especially of the brave people who talked on the microphone!
