The weeks are flying past quickly and the end is fast approaching. We only have another two weeks together, before everyone ‘graduates’ from Kindy into Pre-primary! What an amazing year and what amazing children we have had the pleasure to teach.
Literacy
During the last few weeks of Kindy we will be building on our knowledge of sight words and three letter words (cvc) and using them independently when writing short sentences and reading simple texts. e.g. Sam can hop and run. The pig will go in the mud.
Numeracy
We are learning to partition numbers into small collections using concrete materials up to 6. Partitioning refers to how numbers can be split into parts. It allows students to see the relationship between a number and its component parts. For e.g. a six can be made into one and five or two and four or three and three. This leads to making connections to addition and subtraction.
Dance Parties
Dance classes continue and the children are getting very good at the various dances they are learning. The Presentation Dance Parties will be conducted at school on Monday 14 December for Blue Group and Tuesday 15 December for Red Group. Children can wear party clothes and stay in their outfits for the whole school day.
Class Picnics
We will be having our class picnic after the dance party. It will be an exciting day! Subway lunches will be available for order through the school canteen. The canteen is not open for their usual menu. If you do not want to order subway, please pack your child lunch for the picnic.
Reports
Reports are due to go home on Wednesday 16 December.
