FOUNDATION

During Term Three, Foundation students will explore the Auslan alphabet and do fingerspelling, learning to recognise, produce, and understand each letter using clear handshapes and movements. They will practice spelling their own names and familiar words, building confidence in both expressive and receptive skills. Through games, songs, and interactive activities, students develop their ability to connect fingerspelling with written English letters, strengthening early literacy and communication skills in a fun and engaging way.

They will also learn signs to describe objects and animals. We look forward to learning basic signs to celebrate a variety of events this term, including Fathers’ Day, Book Week and the AFL Grand Final. Students will continue to build on their ability to participate in basic signing conversations with their peers.
