Kindergarten

In order to foster a greater level of independence we are asking if parents can support us by saying goodbye to their child on the pebbles. Students can then move to their class, hang their own bag up, put their crunch and sip on their desk and move out to play.

Home reading will commence in Week 7. Readers, or a ‘sounds and words’ page, will be sent home in the home reading folder that has already been provided. We will also send home a ‘How to help my child with reading’ information sheet at the end of Week 6. Please remember that we are here to help. If you have any questions, contact your child’s class teacher.

We are learning to:

• hear and say the sounds /e/, /n/ and /g/  
• write the letters ‘e’, ‘n’ and ‘g’ using the correct formation
  • e - start in the middle, go across, then up and around and stop. 
  • n - start at the top, go down, up and hop. 
  • g - start at the top, go around, up and then right the way down and hook. 
• identify nouns as names of places (park, school, hospital)
