Term 3 Week 4 - 9th August 2024

100 Days of Prep

What a wonderful day! We hope your child enjoyed this special celebration and milestone! Outside the Prep B classroom we have put up a display of an activity both classes did on 100 days as well as some photos! Please come in and take a look!

Le Page MS readathon

From Friday the 26th July to Thursday the 15th August Le page is doing our very first readathon! This event encourages all students to embrace their love of reading, and allows them to be sponsored for their efforts. More information has been sent home in the blue satchels, and via compass. Please sign up if you would like to be a part of this fundraiser.

What we are learning!

Maths:

In maths we have covered 3D shapes and learnt about spheres, cylinders and cubes. We have also been re-capping addition that we learnt earlier in the year. Students are enjoying creating equations for their friends as well as challenging themselves with trickier equations. We are learning addition through the use of manipulatives and fun craft activities.

Little Learners love literacy:

We continue to stream our Little Learners Love Literacy program between the Prep-2 cohort. The students love being challenged and motivated in their new groups this term, and they are all absolutely thriving.The LLLL program focuses on letter sounds and how we can use them in our word formation.

Literacy:

Our rhyme ng/poetry unit is proving to be lots of fun. Students are coming up with funny rhymes. We have begun writing our own poems each week and students have had fun with this. It is great to see students challenge themselves with different rhyming words.

Leader In me:

We are continually embedding the 7 habits language into our daily teaching through the weeks. This week’s focus is Habit 6: Synergise! .

Inquiry:

Our plants are all planted and we are eagerly waiting for some growth. Students are enjoying watering them every few days and seeing if there are any sprouts coming up from the soil.
