My eldest has just finished kinder, we were given a fantastic folder full of everything they did throughout the year.
The kinder also had to do a transition report which is passed onto his prep teacher at his school. The questions that the kinder teacher had to comment on were
* child's sense of indentity - she commented on things like O can communicate need for comfort and help, iniates play and joins in, engages in role play, negotiates and shares, shows persistance
* The child's connection with and contribution to their world - comments like listens to others, participates in group play reaches out for company and friendship I know they did show and tell to get the kids confident standing up and speaking
*Child's sense of wellbeing - comments were in regards to sharing happiness and satisfaction, seeks out new challenges, copes with frustration, independant in personal hygiene (he is 5 now so has finally learnt to wipe his own bum)
*Child's confidence and involement in learining: shows curiosity, transfer knowledge from one setting to another, extends his own intersts
*child's Comminication skills: responding verbally and non verbally to all the senses.. constucts and conveys messages , reading/writing own name etc

I know at O's kinder they did a lot of things with cooking, they made soup one day for lunch, things in the garden and then just your general puzzles, building, drawing reading books etc. I think a lot of the focus is also on them building their relationship with others.

That being said Kindergarton in VIC isn't compulsory so I know a few kids that will be going to O's school without being at kinder. You sound like a great Mum and I'm sure he will fit in fine. Does he go to a daycare centre? I think that helps kids develop and improve their social skills also.

Sorry for the essay hope you got something out of it.
