In Room 7, the Pre Primary and Year One children have been learning to: 

Name and order the days of the week.

Name and order the months of the year.

Name the seasons.

Here are some focus questions to ask your child at home.

Days of the week	Months of the year	Seasons
How many days are there in a week?	How many months are there in a year?	How many seasons in a year?
How many days in a fortnight?	How many days in a month?	What are the seasons in order?
How many hours in a day?	What are the months in order?
What are the days in order?

Please note: 

To assist the children in ordering the months of the year, I have been using an excellent song called ‘Months of the Year’. 

Kind regards
