Students arrived at school in Spiderman, Buzz Lightyear and Transformers costumes, asked to dress as something that begins with their favourite letter.
Teacher Kim Smith said kinders have started developing literacy skills using ‘Jolly Phonics’, a learning technique that emphasises teaching students the sounds of letters.
Classes will now take on more complex spelling tasks, Ms Smith said.
She said Jolly Phonics has let students reach advanced literacy levels more quickly.
DRESS-UP: Isabella Howarth, Hannah Worth, Jazmyn-Lee Gordon, Maddy Densmore and Brianna Moss.
PARADE: Brodie Farley, Cameron Murray and Benjamin Blake.
