Prep

Maths 

In Maths, the Preps continued to estimate and compare the length of objects. They used a variety of informal units such as hand spans, counting blocks and icy pole sticks. 

The Preps are also learning about subtraction. They have been learning to start with the biggest number and take away the smaller number. The students listened to the story Ten Red Apples and then represented the story of the animals eating the apples using ten frames, number sentences and drawings. 

Literacy 

In literacy rotations, the students have been participating in various activities to support their phonics and writing skills further.
