News from Kindergarten

It has been a busy start to the term for Kindergarten. We celebrated our inaugural St Benedict’s Feast day on Monday. The children enjoyed learning about St Benedict and having lots of fun participating in the activities run by their Year Six Buddies. 

In English, we have been reading the Mr Chicken books by Leigh Hobbs. The children have enjoyed taking in the sights of Rome, Paris and London.  They have also been practicing their independent writing about the Mr Chicken books.

In Religion, the children have learnt about the story of Noah’s Ark. We have enjoyed retelling the story and creating visual representations of the animals and rainbow.

Over the last two Fridays, the children have participated in Science and Geography workshops sharing their knowledge and skills as we discovered the different properties of materials and unique places people live around the world, discussing how they are similar and different from our own.

We are looking forward to a visit from some of our parents who represent people in our community who help us like firefighters, police and paramedics.

We are proud of the way in which the children have grown and are showing us that they are certainly excited and ready for Year One.
