21.01.2022 Kindy Orientation Another great day for Kindy Orientation today. Our 3 new kindred spent a full day at school today. They learnt about the sound ‘t’ and created some cats in hats. Then we read ‘The Wrong Book’ and made our own books following lunch was maths with counting, patterning and some construction work. In the afternoon we painted some ‘Very Cranky Bears’. I think it’s a safe bet to say they will all sleep well tonight. ... Kate Lofthouse Class Teacher.
