Kindergarten

Welcome to Term 2. We hope everyone managed to relax and enjoy lots of family time over the holiday break. Home Reading will start later this term and information on how to best support your child will be sent home prior to the start of taking class readers home. While some students will be ready for readers, others will be focusing on developing their decoding skills in preparation for home reading.

English

We are learning to:

• hear and say the sounds /r/ and /o/  
• write the letters ‘r’ and ‘o’ using the correct formation
  • r - start at the top, go down, back up and then over to make a curve
  • o - start at the top, go round in a circle
• compose a sentence and check that it starts with a capital letter and ends with a full stop

Mathematics

We are learning to:

• sort and describe three-dimensional objects
• say teen numbers as 10 and some more

Integrated Learning

We are learning to:

• identify and record the materials everyday objects are made from

Personal Development and Health (PDH)

We are learning to:

• be kind to ourselves and others 
• be open to learning and growing 
• be honest
• be brave and have fun

Visual Arts

We are learning to:

• use scissors safely to cut around an irregular shape
• investigate paper techniques such as tearing and crumpling

Reminders

Please make sure your child’s belongings, such as hats and jumpers, are labelled clearly with their name.

If your child chooses not to wear a jumper to school, please make sure they have one in their bag as the weather can change very quickly at this time of the year.
