Our Learning 

During this fortnight in the 3 and 4 year old kindergarten, the children have been undertaking learning in the following areas: 

Reading
  • Learning to decipher what a book is about through looking closely at the cover illustration. 
  • Borrowing books from the ELC Library to read at home
Writing  
  • Developing a hand preference through drawing and painting and use tools such as scissors and ‘pizza’ cutters
  • Developing and refining fine motor skills through the use of playdough, picking up small objects, playing with the tap tap (hammering) boards
STEM
  • Developing an understanding of descriptive language as they explore different textures, including hard, soft, smooth, rough, and spikey
  • Becoming familiar with different shapes and their names as they build constructions with small wooden blocks
Inquiry
  • Exploring the Unit of Inquiry: Healthy choices, Healthy me 
Social & emotional learning
  • Continuing to build the children’s understanding of a range of emotions, how these appear through facial expressions and possible events that may lead to us feeling that way. As they arrive at kinder the children are beginning to place their own photos on the Zones of Regulation posters to indicate how they are feeling

 

News and Reminders

  • Monday 11 March – Labour Day Public Holiday. The ELC is closed.
