Introducing Phonics to KG3 Children: Building Strong Foundations for Literacy.
Introducing Phonics to KG3 Children: Building Strong Foundations for Literacy.
In the world of early childhood education, the introduction of phonics to Kindergarten Grade 3 (KG3) children marks a significant milestone in their journey towards becoming confident readers and writers. This approach, rooted in the fundamental principles of phonological awareness, offers a structured and systematic way of teaching children to decode words, fostering a love for reading and communication.
Phonics instruction for KG3 children is an exciting endeavor, characterized by their unbridled enthusiasm. These young learners embark on a captivating exploration of letters, their formation, and the enchanting world of CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words. The process begins by acquainting children with individual letter sounds and shapes, allowing them to establish a strong foundation in letter recognition and formation. This, in turn, paves the way for the children to build words, first through CVC word blending, and later, through more complex word structures.
Through engaging activities, interactive games, and vibrant visual aids, children absorb phonics concepts with remarkable agility. As they grasp the connection between letters, sounds, and words, their confidence soars. This early phonics exposure not only equips them with essential skills but also ignites a lifelong passion for reading and writing, empowering them to become avid and proficient communicators.
In conclusion, the introduction of phonics to KG3 children is an invaluable step in their educational journey. It lays the groundwork for literacy and language proficiency, cultivating a sense of wonder and curiosity that will serve them well throughout their academic and personal lives. Ms Khalida.

Kindergarten 2 went on a listening walk.
Learning Objective: (To develop children’s listening skills and awareness of sounds in the environment)
This is a listening activity that can take place outdoors or indoors. The children were reminded about the things that good listeners do (e.g. keep quiet, have ears and eyes ready). The children were invited to show their teachers how good they are at listening and talk about why listening carefully is important. During the walk around their school environment, the children were encouraged to listen attentively to the sounds around them. Talk about the different sounds they can hear. They used big ears on headbands to wear as they went on the listening walk. Ms Nalukwago.
Reception VG Exploring the Natural World!
Reception VG Exploring the Natural World!
As part of 'Understanding the World', the children went on a nature's walk around the school. By drawing and gathering the natural materials, children had a chance to explore, give logical reasoning and differentiate between the man-made and natural materials. Along the way, they had a delightful encounter with Ms. Zoe and Mr. Lee with whom they enthusiastically discussed their ongoing learning experience. The children also demonstrated their understanding by answering the related questions. Later on, we brainstormed ideas to utilize the materials collected on their nature's walk by creating some fun craft pieces. Have a look! Can you guess what they are? Ms Varsha.
