Welcome
Our Vision
Catholic
Examples of Kinder Learning in 2016 We have engaged in many nursery rhymes and learnt how to rhyme words. (86% of
students can successfully rhyme as of last week).
We are so excited to learn new sight words and sounds e.g. 1 student obtained 11 sounds last week.
Kindergarten have been working hard to count to 20 or beyond and make quantities to 10 (90% of children have moved up one or more clusters on the ELP)
Our favourite part of the day is using the technology (Samsung Tablets) to help learn sounds and sight words on READING EGGS and EGGY ALPHABET
So we have completed 8 weeks thus far this year...
High Expectations
Contemporary Learning
Professional Learning Teams
1. What should students know and be able to do?
2. How will we know students have learned it?
3. How will we structure learning experiences to ensure students learn?
4. How will we respond when students do not learn it or when they already know it?
