The Transition class aims to fulfil this need by providing a structured curriculum. The program, based on themes, contains elements of the subject areas taught in school. The following areas will be covered. Talking and Listening activities form an integral part of the day's program. Story-time promotes discussion and questioning, recall and sequencing of events.
News time encourages children to speak to their peers in a more formal situation.
The children visit the library and are able to borrow books. Each day the children rotate around three groups, focussing on concepts covered in the three strands of Mathematics - number, space and measurement. Examples of activities are counting, number recognition and writing of numerals, patterns, recognising and manipulating shapes, and informal measurement. Weekly themes are integrated with all curriculum areas. There are occasional excursions.
