Week Seven

Next week, we are exploring the initial phonic sound Hh, as in hat and hop. We will have a new play area that starts with our phonic sound and this is a surprise for our children for next week! Maybe you could begin guessing at home, what starts with Hh? Is it a home? Or a hairdresser? Can you think of any other play areas that start with Hh?

We will continue to focus on writing, with correct uppercase and lowercase letter formations, scissor skills and reading our sight words. To assist with our cutting skills we sing a song, ‘Open, shut them, open, shut them, cut along the line’. We also talk about our bossy fingers and worker fingers when cutting.

Fantastic speaking and listening skills are developing through our Australian themed news telling. We would like to see the children develop the confidence to speak independently without assistance and prompting. Please refer to your letter, for your child’s news day.

During numeracy, we are continuing to count aloud to ten, correctly order numbers to ten and count collections of objects to match a given number. We are enjoying playing Numero with the children, among other number games in the classroom.

Over the term, we have been spending our afternoons enjoying HASS, Science and Health. Next week, we will be reading dreamtime stories, experimenting with sinking and floating objects and being the boss of our feelings.

Congratulations to the children who are achieving such great results on Study Ladder. New tasks have been set in our Learning Pod. Enjoy working with your children, we are so proud of how much they are achieving at Kindergarten.
