Welcome to the Kindergarten @ SGPS 2024 page. On this page you will find links to useful resources that support our amazing Kindergarten program.
Term 1
Note: Week 1 of school is the Bext Start week so the first week of Kindergarten is technically in Week 2.
Literacy
Each week in Kindergarten we learn 2 new sounds (phonemes) in class. Click here to download the Term 1 overview of sounds, words to learn to read and spell and heart words.
We revise the previous week's sounds in our phonics homework sheets. Here is a link to the Kindergarten phonics homework sheets for Term 1. You can print them at home if you are away or have lost your copy.
Sounds of the Week Term 1 overview:
- Week 4 (beginning 19 Feb) - m, s
- Week 5 - f, a (Home Reading program begins)
- Week 6 - p, t (Homework begins)
- Week 7 - c, i
- Week 8 - b, h
- Week 9 - n, o
- Week 10 - d, g
- Week 11 - revision of Term 1 sounds and words
From Week 8 there are two versions of the Homework sheet:
- The sheet with one star is for students learning to sound out 2-3 sound words.
- The sheet with two stars at the top is for students who are ready to read longer words.
Please start with the one-star sheet and only move on to the two-star sheet if your child is completely confident at sounding out 3 letter words.
