Kindergarten

As Term 2 draws to a close, we recall the array of learning experiences and special events in which the Kindergarten students have engaged. They have certainly been involved in many varied and interesting learning opportunities from all subject areas this semester.

Our most recent was the visit to the Life Education van to meet Healthy Harold. Our lesson focus was, ‘My Body Matters – Healthy Eating’, supporting our Personal Development and Health Program, ‘My Healthy Body’.

The students learnt about choices and behaviours that promote good health, safety and wellbeing as they grow and change. They explored personal hygiene, healthy food choices, the benefits of physical activity and sleep, as well as ways to keep safe at home, school and in the community.

In Mathematics, we have been learning about creating visual data displays, exploring the attributes of two-dimensional shapes and learning about addition and subtraction.

In Digital Technology, we have been excited to learn about how to responsibly use iPads for our learning. 

During Community Time, we enjoyed the opportunity to join our Year 4 Buddies for peer tutoring sessions, during which the students read to each other, quizzed one another with comprehension questions, wrote ‘tricky’ words and played spelling games.

As Term 2 concludes, we look forward to celebrating a special event to be held in early Term 3. 

Thursday 8 August will mark the students’ first 100 days of Kindergarten. We will acknowledge this milestone with a special celebration themed ‘100 Days Brighter’, in acknowledgment of the curiosity and joy the Kindergarten students have brought to our school community.

We would like to wish our students and parents a safe, restful and enjoyable term break. We look forward to new and exciting experiences in Semester 2.
