This has been a busy week for Kindy Blue. They have started to work in
teams and rotate through activities. The students have done an excellent job
and need to be commended for their efforts.
Literacy
The students have been learning to identify their
name and the sound it starts with e.g. Max
starts with M, M, M. For the next two weeks we are focusing on the initial
letter sounds Aa as in apple, Ss as in sun, Tt as in turtle. To reinforce
the letter sounds please have a look around your home for an object that starts
with one of these letters and bring it in to add to our class ‘Phonic
Mystery Bag.’ (Please label items so that they can be returned.) Try this website for learning the alphabet with
phonic sounds:

Numeracy
We are learning to identify the written
numerals 1 and 2 and matching concrete objects using one to one correspondence.
The students are also learning to touch count each object only once when
counting “How many?”
Assembly
Our *BRIGHT SHINING STARS* on Friday
22nd February were Emily and Kean. Congratulations!
Please note
parents are welcome to attend assemblies. Please wear school uniform.
Show and Tell
Beginning in week 5 each child will have a
turn to bring in an item or photo to talk about something that they are
grateful for. They will be asked to share this with the
class and will need to practise what they say with parents at home before their
rostered day. A class gratitude book will be compiled and be on display in the
classroom. This is a whole school approach and will form part of the Kindy oral
language, speaking, listening and values program. Please speak to the teacher
if you would like any clarification.
It is requested that children be encouraged to greet teachers when they enter the classroom in the morning. This is part of the Wattle Grove Way and not only teaches them to use their manners but also alerts the teachers of their arrival and you can leave at ease knowing that your child is safe in their care.
Friendly Reminder: Please return document wallets every
morning when your child comes to school.
