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.
