happening. Please take care to read all student notes to ensure you stay informed.

Literacy
Last week we learnt the sound Vv as
in volcano and vet. We have been exploring volcanoes, including making them and
seeing them erupt in our sandpits!
We have been applying our letter
sound and sight word knowledge to read simple sentences and texts.
A focus for Term 4 is blending and
segmenting CVC words. CVC words are three letter words that comprise of a
consonant, a vowel and another consonant, e.g. pig, man, zip.
Blending: This skill involves
blending sounds together to pronounce a word e.g. s u n … sun
Segmenting: This skill involves
listening carefully to the word and identifying the sounds that you can hear
e.g. sun … s u n
Numeracy
We continue to work with teen
numbers. Last week we learnt about the number 17. We continue to develop our
counting skills by practising one-to-one correspondence (touching each object
as we count) and learning that the arrangement does not affect the count.
HASS (History and Social Sciences)
This term we are learning about family
celebrations. We have been asking children to name a special event
that their family celebrates and tell us how they celebrate it. Special events
could include religious festivals, family reunions, birthdays, community events
etc.
Homework Folders
We will continue to send home
readers, on a rotation through our Kindy classes. Please ensure that homework
folders are returned on your child’s Kindy day.
Thank you for your support with our learning program.
