When the call to action is: “Mrs A can we start a crochet club?”
The answer is a BIG YES! We share the same love language, wool, a pattern and a crochet needle😊

Strong listening skills are at the heart of phonological awareness.

At Curro Preschools, our programme helps children develop:

✅ Sound discrimination (hearing the difference between sounds)
✅ Memory and sequencing
✅ Focus in noisy environments
✅ Blending and breaking sounds

These skills support not only reading, but concentration, comprehension and communication too.

Great learning starts with great listening.

Food for thought! 🍴

Our Grade six learners got hands-on with food processing, exploring the 'why' and 'how' of making food safe and tasty! 🙂

They then got creative, experimenting with methods to take their grub from raw to delicious! 😋

Phonological awareness develops step by step – from simple to more complex skills.

In Group 5 at Curro Preschools, we focus mainly on:

✅ Rhyming and alliteration
✅ Sentence segmenting
✅ Syllable blending and segmenting

These skills lay the groundwork for reading and spelling later on – without rushing children into letters too soon.

Every rhyme, clap and sound game builds confidence for the next learning stage.

🏃‍♀️Our learners are gearing up for the upcoming athletics day. 🏆
Let's bring the noise, the pride, and the spirit! 💪

Did you know? The phonological awareness programme at Curro Preschools includes 38 fun sound games?

In small, guided groups, children:

✅Play with rhythm and rhyme
✅Blend sounds to make words
✅Break words into syllables
✅Spot silly ‘nonsense’ words

It’s learning that feels like play – because children learn best when they’re having fun!

At Curro Preschools, sound awareness is woven into the school day in a joyful, age-appropriate way.

Before children can read words, they need to hear them.

At Curro Preschools, our phonological awareness programme helps children learn how to:

👂 Listen carefully
🔊 Hear differences between sounds
🧩 Break words into smaller sound parts

Sound awareness is a strong predictor of reading success. That’s why we start with listening, rhyming and sound play first.

Strong listeners today = confident readers tomorrow 💛
