Academic Learning

Today was a busy day for our Kindergarten class! We practiced our phonics using the Cat in the Hat flash cards and did some very fast rocket reading! The children then each had a turn reading a Level 1 beginner reader. We worked together to sound out the phonics and join the sounds together to make words. We looked for patterns in the text and used the punctuation as tools to help us read. We used picture cues to give us hints about tricky words and to use for a picture walk.

We also played a new game in our math class where we played crocodile snap. Each child had to snap the number that was called out. This is helping us to recognise our numbers and have a lot of fun!
