What an amazing term we have had! The children have learnt so much about how to be friends and work together, as well as important skills in preparation for Kindergarten. Last week, the children were so proud to show me how well they are doing with their counting to ten, colour recognition and knowledge of two-dimensional shapes. They have also started showing an interest in learning the alphabet, so alphabet songs have been introduced during activity time.
The children thoroughly enjoyed learning about Australian animals and used some interesting vocabulary to describe their characteristics. We talked about the importance of caring for animals and their habitats. The children were also able to discuss how we need to care for our homes, school and wider community, such as by putting rubbish in the bin, not stepping on plants, looking after our belongings, etc.
Next term will see the children continue to learn through play, as they develop skills in readiness for Kindergarten. The focus will continue to be on the development of the children's social skills including: sharing, cooperation, working together, solving conflicts, etc. The children have come such a long way with this already and it is wonderful to see them making friends and playing together.
I hope you all have a safe and enjoyable break and I look forward to another wonderful term when school resumes in Spring Term.
