First of all Happy 4th birthday to Jaxon and Beau over the weekend. 


We would like to give a big welcome to the Johnston family. Olivia is joining Kindy Red this week. She loves dolls, dinosaurs, playing outside and dancing. Her parents are Sophie and Shane. 

Welcome to OLC Sophie, Shane and Olivia. 

Parent teacher Meetings

Dear Parents. 

It's that time of the year where I can catch up with you and inform you of how your child is going in Kindergarten. These meetings are going to run over Weeks 9 and 10 of this term for both Kindy Red and Kindy Blue. They will be approximately 20 minutes long and if  you require more time with me then another time can be organised. 

Outside the Kindy door is a timetable for all parents to fill in what time slot suits them ( best in best dress). 

I haven't included Fridays, but if  you need this day just let me know. Also if you need a later time that's not allocated please let me know as well. 

 If children can be looked after that is always greatly appreciated, however, I understand if they need to come in order for both parents to be present. Some toys will be out if needed.

Whats been happening in Kindy Weeks 3-6

Each week the Kindies have been having fun exploring with  colours, learning to recognise their 2D shapes in the environment and also focusing on our alphabet programme. 

So far we have been focusing on the letter sounds:  
S for snake 
a for apple
t for Tiger 

p for pop
i for itchy 
n for nose  

To help young children learn to say and recognise their sounds we have been doing classroom word brainstorms, singing songs, letter formation activities and phonics games. When we introduce the letter formations, we teach the upper case letters unintentional and we focus more on how to recognise the lowercase letters. This helps young children have more early success with their reading and writing development in the future.

Ask your child what shape is a stop sign that has eight sides?
