Week 6

Hello parents of kindergarten A

I hope that you had enjoyed your week as much as we have enjoyed our time focusing

on literacy.

English

We have started using our phonics books and everyone has really risen to the challenge

of being responsible for their own book. We have been learning our new sight words,

phonics (BL, FL and GL) and practising our writing.

Maths

This week we have been really focusing on addition and subtraction with number bonds

to 20. We are trying to increase our speed with recognising smaller groupings and helping

our friends who are struggling a little.

Literacy week

We had such a fun filled week this week with a number of guest readers teachers, parents

and older students sharing their favourite books with us. We talked about our favourite

stories and read some of our library books to our classmates.

We also ended literacy week by wearing our favourite character from stories to school and

with a spelling bee! We held a class competition to found our class champions and then competed against kindergarten B. Although everyone spelled really well, Kazushi was

crowned the spelling champion of Kindergarten! Well done!

Play time

We have been having a great time with kindergarten B playing group games like fruits basket and duck duck goose!
