CLASS THEME

 

This term our class will be learning about nursery rhymes, ourselves and our families.

 

​ENGLISH

Term 1 is a settling in term for children as we introduce them to school routines and behaviours. We will be developing our sense of belonging at school with the focus being on our ability to listen, follow instructions, speak clearly and to treat others with respect. We will be introducing rhyme through songs and chants, listening to environmental sounds and asking children to identify how many syllables are in words. We will also be working on name recognition and the development of our fine motor skills.​

 

MATHEMATICS

The focus for Maths is number and the principles of counting. We will be working on recognising and reciting numbers to 5 and using 1-1 correspondence when counting out small collections. We will be making simple patterns, recognising shapes and colours and comparing collections of objects as to which has more or less. We will also be exploring the skill of “subitising” by using dice to play lots of fun and exciting games.
