This week's news from Kindergarten and Reception
Dear Parents,
It is hard to believe we have already reached the end of Term 2! We hope that you have a lovely Easter Break and look forward to welcoming you back to an action-packed Term 3!
made posters about People Who Help Us. The children chose the person they wanted to make their poster about and consolidated their skills of: Acquiring Knowledge, Formulating Questions, Analysis and Presenting. Many children asked to use Google to find the answers to their questions or to find the images they wanted on their poster.
had our final Show and Tell of the term. We will no longer be doing Show and Tell after Easter so please do not bring toys to school.
started preparing our garden for planting by digging the soil and removing the weeds.
talked about recycling and learnt the song Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
had the opportunity to apply counting skills and numeral recognition in our new maths area made by Ms. Robertson.

- started preparing for our new Unit of Inquiry about Water by placing cups of water around the classroom to see what will happen to them over the holidays. Will the water still be there when we come back?
- danced to some of our favourite songs after watching the dance assembly - we have got some moves in our class!

Reception:

- completed a variety of informal assessment task linked to Maths Skills and Phonics.
- reviewed the sounds oa and igh by reading and writing words containing those sounds.

We are noticing many children are bringing toys from home on a daily basis. Please support us by ensuring toys are left at home unless we have specifically requested them. Thank you!
