Welcome back to all Kindergarten children and families. We hope you have all had a wonderful break and are looking forward to another exciting term.
Literacy
Our letter for this week is the ‘X x’ phonic sound. We will be exploring words that have this sound. For example, we can hear the sound Xx at the end of fox and box.
We are continuing to review our sight words and are beginning to identify and blend the sounds in CVC (consonant – vowel – consonant) words.
We enjoy shared and guided reading in the classroom, and we will continue to integrate reading into all learning areas.
Numeracy
This week we are reviewing numbers 1 to 15. Our focus number is 16. We will continue to identify missing numbers and count on from different starting points.
Dancing
Blue Group will be dancing on a Monday afternoon this term. We are looking forward to starting this program as soon as school returns. If you have not paid and would like your child to attend the lessons, the office will be available for payment on Monday morning.
Student Fete
The Student Fete is held during week 2 on Wednesday 23 October. It begins at 1pm. Blue Group are welcome to attend and on the day are required to sign in your children at the office. Parents do not attend unless you have been assigned/volunteered for parent help. Week 1 will be busy for Kindergarten as we prepare the Playdough for our stall.
Health
During our health lessons this term we will be focusing on Protective Behaviours. The overarching theme is ‘Everyone has the right to feel safe at all times’. We will be learning about body parts, private/public spaces, feeling safe and unsafe, early warning signs, safety networks and asking for help.
Blue Group Assembly
Our assembly item will be held on Thursday morning during week 7. More details to follow soon.
