Oral+Language+Centre

This Term in the Oral Language Centre, the theme is 'Jungle'. **__Goals of the Oral Language/Social Skills Program__** The aim of the Oral Language/Social Skills Program is to improve the overall oral language skills of our students in an environment that promotes a sense curiosity, exploration, investigation and interest in a rich range of materials, resources and opportunities in which the child can engage. .
 * Goals for Station 1 ||
 * Imaginative/Dramatic Play ||  Children use a range of materials in fantasy, in creating and representing their own ideas and understandings through imaginative play. In acting out imagining and representing through play, their thinking and oral language skills are enhanced as this is one of the major ways in which children construct, make sense of and understand their world.  ||
 * Goals for Station 2 ||
 * Constructive Play ||  Children require hands on, concrete materials such as Lego, mobile blocks, collage an interest table in which they can construct, design and create a range of representations form their own imaginations.  ||
 * Goals for Station 3 ||
 * Explorative/Sensory Play ||  Children are investigating the properties of things, exploring the environment, finding and trying things out. Sensory play is very important part of children’s learning. Children require experiences in sensory areas to help them with their emotions.  ||
 * Goals for Station 4 ||
