Welcome to North Kalgoorlie Kindergarten Yellow.
My name is Lisa Taylor and I am very much looking forward to an exciting year ahead. I believe in working together in collaboration with families to help your children grow and move from strength to strength during their time at Kindergarten.
I am fairly new to Kalgoorlie, I moved here 12 months ago with my family from Perth and we are very much enjoying ourselves within the community. I have a Bachelor of Education, specialising in Early Childhood Education and have taught Kindergarten in Perth. Upon our arrival I was fortunate enough to teach at a range of schools and varying year groups.
Teaching Kindergarten for me is extremely rewarding as I watch the happy faces of the children come through the door in the morning, so eager to learn and grow. I feel extremely lucky to share the excitement of learning with them and assist in their learning, growth and development.

WELCOME TO TERM THREE
CLASS THEME
During the term the children will be learning all about their five senses, the importance of healthy eating and exercise as well as Aboriginal symbols and their meaning. They will continue to learn nursery rhymes, as well as strengthening relationships with peers and teachers while also gaining confidence in talking in front of their class.
ENGLISH
The focus during English in term three is letter names and sounds. The children will learn the sounds of the letters of the alphabet as well as learning the formation of the letters through song, craft, music and discussions.
Lots of activities will be undertaken where children will be exposed to letters in a variety of forms and context to allow them to become familiar and recognise the letters as well as their sounds.
Nursery rhymes and rhyming words are also continued. This is to consolidate understanding of rhyming words. These are introduced through singing, chants and actions.
MATHEMATICS
During our Maths blocks the focus is number and the counting principles. Students will be learning to count and recite numbers 1-10. Also learning 1:1 correspondence where using small collections of objects they will learn that each object is counted once. Learning to compare collections such as, which has more, less or the same will also be taught through hands on activities. Children will use materials that can be manipulated to assist in learning these concepts. Subitising will also commence where children will learn through games and the use of dice. Measurement is also a focus where children will use scales, tape measures etc to compare size, height, length and weight.
