Prep Update

Upcoming learning

During the next fortnight, the focus for Prep students will remain settling into school and developing positive routines.

We will be undertaking learning in following areas:

SEL	Students will be learning about the Zones of Regulation. We will be exploring each zone and the feelings that come along with them. We will explore a range of strategies to remain and return to the green zone. We will be discussing developing friendships and investigating how we can make positive choices to be 'Bucket fillers.'
Reading	Students will begin to engage in daily Phonics lessons, focusing on the letter 'm' and the sound that it makes.
Writing	Students will practice correct pencil grip and engage in fine motor activities. We will practice writing our names.
Maths	We will begin to investigate the maths process, matching numbers 0-10 and counting forwards and backwards.
Inquiry	We will be exploring the range of cultures within our classroom and our family identities.

Please ensure all students belongings including hats and jumpers are clearly labelled.
Please remember that your child needs a sun smart hat to be able to play outside.
Prep students will not have school the following Wednesdays: 8/02, 15/02, 22/02 and the 1/03 as teachers continue their individual meet and greets.
The red bags that students received last week will make great library bags if you wish to send them back to school. All of the books inside can be left and used at home.

Prep students have made a wonderful start to their school journey and we are very proud of them!
