Week Nine

It is hard to believe that we are nearly at the end of Term Four! We have five teaching days left with our Kindy children. In the last two weeks of school, we have lots to look forward to. In literacy, we will be continuing to revise and consolidate letter sounds, syllables, rhyme, sight words and CVC words. During our numeracy sessions, we will be counting forward and backwards to 20, partitioning numbers and focusing on days of the week. 

Please see below for some important dates.

Dance Party
A permission slip has gone home regarding the dance parties. Thank you to the families that have returned the note promptly. Blue Group dance party is on Monday 16 December 10-11am. Children can wear party clothes and stay in their outfits for the whole school day. 

Class Party
We will be having our class party after the dance party. It will be an exciting day! Could you please bring a SMALL plate of food to school in the morning on Monday 16 December. There will be a list on our board to ensure a variety of wonderful treats!

Reports

Reports are due to go home on Wednesday 18 December.

Week Eight


The weeks are flying past quickly and the end is fast approaching. We only have another three 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 classes continue and the students are getting very good at the various dances they are learning. The Presentation Dance Parties will be conducted at school on Monday 16 December for Blue Group. Parents will be invited to participate in the dancing with their children. We are looking forward to all families joining their children for this special end of year celebration.
