Dear Prep families,
Welcome back to Term Two. I have enjoyed listening to all the holiday stories that the Preps have been sharing. It has also been wonderful to see them all connecting with their friends and Year 6 Buddies on the playground. They have transitioned very well into the classroom routine. We have some exciting learning experiences planned for this term.
On the last Thursday of Term 1, the Preps engaged in a range of activities related to the Easter story. They experienced the story through art, craft, storytelling, and reflected on the sacrifice Jesus made for our sins.
This week, the students listened to two different stories related to ANZAC Day. The first story is Anzac Ted, and the second is ANZAC Biscuits. After listening to Anzac Ted, the students had the opportunity to participate in a directed drawing activity. They practised their listening skills and drew their own Anzac Ted. Today, we made ANZAC biscuits, and this activity was a great activity for the Preps to speak in full sentences and use appropriate vocabulary to name the ingredients and equipment. Then they described what they saw, smelled or heard during the process.
