PREPS CELEBRATE 100 DAYS OF PREP

Our Prep team had the best time marking their 100 Days of Prep and it was a very busy day.

Students wore brightly coloured clothes and bought in 100 items from home. They loved sharing their items and counting them with their classmates. We had items from rubber hair bands, to Lego, puzzle pieces, cars, cards, stickers, pasta, rice, and even cereal. Thanks to all the parents who helped with the counting.

During the day we counted 100 fruit loops and strung them on string to make them into necklaces. Was great to see the wonderful colours and groups of ten some students made. They couldn’t wait to get them home and gobble them up.

We also enjoyed making 100 days brighter headbands and receiving a certificate from Ms Sheppard. It was a huge day but was loved by all.

THE JAPANESE WORD OF THE FORTNIGHT

ちょっと (pronounced ‘chotto’) which means ‘a little’, is the Japanese Word for Week 5 & 6 of Term 3.

You can use ‘ちょっと’ (‘chotto’) before adjectives. For example, if you would like to say ‘a little cold’, you can say ちょっとさむいです (‘chotto samuides’). You can also use ‘chotto’ by itself instead of ‘a little’.

Thank you / ありがとうございます(pronounced ‘aligatoh gozaimas’) for your continuing support for our Japanese program.
