Needs and Wants

In Kindy, we have been learning about what we need to stay alive, as well as things that aren't necessary for survival. Here the children are sorting out needs from wants in small groups.

Summary Cube

Kindergarten love the summary cube! It really helps them with comprehension. You can make your own at home by printing a cube 'net' off the Internet.

Simply read a book (or watch a film) with your cherub and write down six sentences that help to summarise the text, then roll the dice. Your child then talks about the part of the book that the sentence reflects, as well as what happens before and after this.

Enjoy :)

Teddy reading

Kindy are really enjoying reading to their teddies as part of our literacy centres.

Big Book Group Read!

Kindy have been working on improving their fluency when reading. We have been trying really hard to 'read the way we speak'. The best way to practice this is to use familiar texts, such as 'Who is in the shed?'.

Our goals

Kindergarten students have worked with myself and our SSO, Mrs Johnston, to develop personal goals for their learning. I encourage you to discuss your child's goal with them. The goals have been written on leaves to be part of our 'GROW' tree. 

Our new class pet

This is our new class pet Piggleywinks. I'm sure you've heard lots about him. He is a Siamese Fighter Fish.

Nikki excited for the weekend!

Michael Mangan

Kindy really enjoyed their time at the Michael Mangan concert!
