Preps, 1 And 2:
This term the preps 1 and 2s have gone on an adventure to learn about France, they have currently been working on the mythical colors of France and how to say them in French, the complex numbers and how to say hello and how are you!
In music the preps 1 and 2s have been learning one of the earliest forms of music, the boom whackers! The boom whackers were a stick with a hole on both sides of the stick, when it hit the ground, the air would travel through the hole and create a large thwacking sound. Depending on the size of the boom whackers it would make different sounds and volume.
