Prep News: Wrapping Up Term 3!

We can hardly believe we’ve reached the final week of Term 3! It’s been incredible to see how much our Prep students have grown in confidence, solidified friendships, and made wonderful progress in their learning.

Firefighters

This week, we had our second visit from the firefighters, and the students amazed them with their ability to recall all the essential fire safety information. The highlight was the fire truck visit, where every student in attendance had the chance to try the hose—a big hit for everyone!

Numeracy

We’ve started our unit on measurement and kicked it off with the story *Room on the Broom* as our inspiration. Students gathered their own "brooms" (sticks) and experimented with measuring them using various units like unifix blocks, counters, ducks, hands, and even fingers!

Literacy

This week, we focused on learning the digraph ‘th’. The students have been working hard during literacy groups to consolidate their understanding, and it’s fantastic to see their growing confidence in reading and writing.

Zowie Day

Students enjoyed their first whole school wide positive behaviour reward. Students enjoyed watching Lilo and Stitch, playing games and having a fun day!
