Games, games and more games!
There are so many fun and educational games out there to help children learn and use sounds! I've added the links below for some computer/internet and some IPOD/IPAD games as well! (Please note: we don't have ipads or ipods in the classroom......yet. Ahhhhh...maybe one day! I wish!)
Internet
I love this website. We like to use it a lot in KC. It has some great games to do at home too!

National Simultaneous Storytime 2011
The Kindergarten students will be walking to the town library on Wednesday 25th May to participate in Simultaneous Storytime. This is a nation-wide event where students all around Australia will be reading the same book at the same time! We will be reading "Feathers for Phoebe" by Rod Clement. The story is a wonderfully illustrated Australian story about self-esteem, self-acceptance and learning that appearances aren't everything!
Birthdays
Happy Birthday to the following students:
Emma Simpson KW
Rubina Davis KP
Marshall Hutchison KW
Walk Safely to School Day
This Friday Scone Public School is promoting Walk Safely to School Day! The purpose of the day is to encourage students who already walk to school and try and encourage other students to walk (where possible). There will be a free breakfast provided, including fruit and cereal, however it might be a good idea to have breakfast at home and then have a "extra" breakfast snack at school. Happy walking everyone!
