HOLIDAY BOOST GROUP:
LET’S PRACTICE TOGETHER!
For children aged 5-7 years.
This program will focus on strengthening fine motor skills plus social-emotional skills which will help your child gain confidence to start 2024 well!
How the program works:
Boost group supports participating in school routines, and building stronger fine motor skills – like writing and cutting. This smaller learning environment encourages children to gain independence and confidence in their learning, while practicing working with other children. By building these skills during the holidays, children can go into the new school year with less stress and a stronger capacity to engage in the classroom.
Your child will develop their capacity in the following areas:
Social-Emotional Skills:
- Group play, sharing, and teamwork
- Recognise and regulate emotions
- Establish routine
- How to sit and participate in groups
- Independent learning
- Confidence
Fine Motor Skills:
- Hold a pencil properly
- Colour in
- Recognise letters of the alphabet
- Write their name
- Scissor holding and cutting
Resources:
The program will equip your family with resources to further implement strategies at home, and to help deepen your child’s learning. Working on these skills during the holidays is key for boosting your child’s readiness for Prep and grade 1!
