Dear KG1 Parents,

Please have a look at what your child will be learning this week

Our Unit of Inquiry How We Express Ourselves

Students have been learning about our central idea: People interact with, use and value local environments in
different ways.
This week we will continue our inquiry into Natural and human-made elements of natural environments.
Students will create a poster to illustrate their understanding of the elements in and around our school. We will
then begin to explore how we can conserve our local environment. We will separate the trash from our lunches
into plastic and paper and weigh the bags. This will begin a discussion on how we can reduce our waste
production.

Language
We will focus on letter /b/this week.
Suggested vocabulary: bat, ball, bee, bird, bananas Burj Khalifa, Burj al Arab.
TIP: Send bananas to school for snack this week to promote a balanced diet! Have a look at this story:

Students will be developing their non-verbal communication skills by expressing their ideas through illustrations
and writing when we make our local environment posters.

Mathematics
We will be exploring and comparing weights. We will use a pan balance to weigh different objects and use the
words heavier and lighter to compare them.
TIP: Have your child carry different objects at home and compare their weights
