Kindergarten
This week in Kindergarten, we have been super busy learning all about the letter bB and the sound that it makes. We have had so much fun blowing bubbles, playing with balloons, bouncing basketballs, baking birthday cakes and using beanbags in the nature playground. Inside our amazing classrooms, we have painted bees, butterflies and bunnies, looked after babies, used balance buckets and bear counters, threaded beads and buttons, read plenty of books and celebrated lots of birthdays. The fun never stops in Kindergarten!

This term, we have been learning about Place Value. We have learned about how Place Value means the value of where a digit is in a number. In partners, we got a collection of dice and rolled them between the two of us. We made two-digit to four-digit numbers from our rolled dice. With these, we then had to make as many numbers as we could. We also challenged our partners to tell the value of each digit in a number.
In English, we explored the story of the Rainbow Fish. We listed all the new vocabulary words in the text and made a vocabulary book on Book Creator. From there, we learned how to use a dictionary and find the most appropriate definition. The students then typed their definitions alongside the new words. As a class, we developed our ability to retell the key events in a text. The children sequenced the story using illustrations to aid their writing. We also made our very own Rainbow fish using a range of creative methods.
The Year 2’s have also been thoroughly enjoying learning Basketball skills with the VET students in the secondary school. This has been a very enjoyable and rewarding experience for all students involved.
