We have had a beautiful start to our year in Kindergarten. It is incredible to think we are already approaching the end of Term One!

First term is such an important time for our Kinders. They are learning and adapting to new routines and expectations, exploring and becoming familiar with a new learning environment and beginning to build relationships with teachers and peers. Our Kinders have enjoyed outdoor play, playing with our classroom mud kitchen, painting, construction, messy/sensory play, music and songs and imaginative play.

Children have also enjoyed many first such as PE with Mr Latham, Music with Miss Farell and Library with Mitch.

Throughout Term One, our class have explored the concept of belonging with an emphasis on identity, relationships, communication, collaboration and diversity. We read In My Heart by Jo Witek and then created our own Happy Heart drawings. We talked about the things that make our heart happy.

Harmony Day

As part of our Harmony Day celebrations, we have been learning more about our classmate Kevin and his family’s Korean heritage. We had a visit from Kevin’s parents who talked to us about South Korea. They told us about traditional Korean food (kimbap and bibibap), traditional Korean dress (hanbok) and we even practised saying a few phrases in Korean.
