Literacy in Kakano 6

-

  In our class, we spend time learning to read and write the alphabet letters.  I have been so impressed with the way the children persevere to correctly write all letters.  We are having fun learning the sounds the letters make and have even started putting letters together to read and write words.

If you would like to learn more about how we teach reading and writing at St Mary's I have included a few articles and links you may like to look at.

• Learning MATTERS 

• iDeaL Approach 

• APM Reports – At a Loss for Words. (Very interesting analysis of current methods of teaching reading)

Midweek update

 This week has gone so quickly with lots of excitement around the show. Today for the show tonight please have the children back between 5:30 and 6pm.  Please pick them up from Kakano any time after 7:15pm and before 7:30pm. Tomorrow for golden time the children could not decide on a PJ party, teddy bears picnic or hot chips, so we have decided to do all 3. The children can bring a teddy and their pajamas in their school bag (we will get changed after morning tea). Can they also bring a gold coin to go towards the hot chips.  They can also still order sausage sizzle and juicy or bring more lunch.  Have a wonderful holidays and enjoy your family time.
