Prep

We have been learning about consonants, vowels, and the sounds that ‘s’ makes ('s' and 'z'). During Ufli, we have enjoyed writing the letters correctly in our handwriting books, playing ‘Read and Roll’ with a partner to blend and segment words, writing a dictated sentence, and on Fridays, completing a weekly assessment task of our learning. We have also been learning to recognise our important ‘heart words’ ('a'/'I'/'is'/'it'/'of'/'and'/'said'/'the'/'to'/'do'/'see').

Miss Pratt in Prep B has been planning sequential lessons about numbers 1 to 10, numbers that come before and after, and ordering number cards, dice games, and interactive games to further consolidate their knowledge of numbers to 10. We have also been practising to write our numbers 1 to 10 without reversals. Next week we will be learning about more and less than.

In History, we have been learning about ‘Community Helpers’ and the important roles they play in keeping us safe. Prep A have been learning about police officers and Prep B firemen. We will be learning about other important community helpers, such as doctors, nurses, teachers, paramedics, crossing supervisor, vet etc.

In Wellbeing, we have been learning about the ‘Red Zone’ and ways we can regulate our emotions, such as deep breathing exercises, counting to 10 slowly, finding a quiet space, reading a book, and moving to a calm space.

Last Thursday, our Preps and Year 5 buddies celebrated the ‘Teddy Bears Picnic’. This was such a great opportunity for our Preps and Year 5s to spend time together, read a special story, come dressed to school in their pyjamas, and share some special treats.
