Kindergarten
The Kindergarten children finished Semester 1 with a perfect pyjama party!
We had lots of fun making popcorn, folding pirate hats, creating patterns, painting penguins, putting on puppet shows and pretending to be pirates.
Throughout the first half of Kindergarten, we have made new friends, learned so many skills and had lots of fun. We can’t wait to see what Semester 2 has in store for us!

Welcome to the start of Winter Term. What a busy and productive start it has been as the students and I begin our learning journey together.
This term has a mathematics focus on multiplication and division. We have begun to investigate the different visual and numerical patterns in repeated addition as we reinforce the relationship between repeated addition and multiplication. The students will be working towards an ability to recall the multiplication facts of two, three, five and ten and the related division facts. They will be representing facts as arrays and use multiplication and division facts to solve simple word problems.
English sessions will be centred around the writing structure of recounts – retelling of events. We have begun to identify past tense verbs ending in ‘ed’ and will continue to work on irregular and regular verbs. Children will be recognising and using specific vocabulary that will show order when writing a recount as well as continuing their individualised spelling program in class and for homework.
Homework will begin in Week 2 this term and will follow a very similar format to last term.
Finally, A big thank you for making me feel so welcome. I have met many parents and look forward to meeting you all over the coming weeks.
