Literacy skills develop right from birth and at JK Bathurst we take every opportunity to extend on children’s emerging literacy development.
In the 2-3 rooms we have maps on the wall at children’s height. This week the Educators enriched the learning environment by intentionally placing the jungle animals under the wall maps. The children recognised the symbolic representation of the animals on the maps and then found the corresponding animal. By the end of the week they were able to find Australia, Africa, Antarctica and America on the map.
