Literacy
During remote learning the preps continued to build their phonics, reading and writing skills through the InitiaLit program. They were thrilled to hear that we only have two lessons left until we complete the program! Wooohoooo!! All of their hard work has certainly paid off as they have shown me their amazing literacy skills over the last couple of days. Once we complete the program the preps we will spend time revising and targeting specific gaps in learning so we are ready for grade 1!
Readers went home yesterday. Can I please ask that we get back into the habit of nightly reading. We will change our readers over each day at school so please make sure that they are brought to school each day and are kept in a safe spot, preferably their blue folder.
Maths
This week we started a new unit on measurement. The Preps had lots of fun using blocks to measure items from the classroom. We also measured ourselves and compared our height with things that were shorter or taller than us.
