I

It has been nice to get back into routine after a crazy week of swimming!!

This fortnight we have been learning about the Author and the Illustrator of the books that we read and where to locate their names on the cover. We have also been searching for the Tricky words "I" and "the" and "cheating" by recognising the repeated pattern in our books.

Our focus sounds have been "kicking k, e, h, r, m, d, g and o" and we continue to label our pictures and write words with the sounds we know.

In Maths our focus numbers have been "8, 9, 10 and we are starting to see the pattern in teen numbers". We have also been learning how to subitise, by instantly recognising the pattern of how many dots on a dice or ten frame without counting them.

The Grade 6 students came for a visit to interview their buddies and do some research that will help them to write, illustrate and publish a book with the Preps being the main characters. The Preps can't wait to see the end result.

Thanks to the parents that came in for Parent teacher interviews. It was great to get to know you and find out more about your child.

Keep an eye out for a photo of our Locky Preps in the Riv this week.
