Milo's Birthday Party - TOMORROW!

We are looking forward to celebrating Milo's Birthday, tomorrow! 

We encourage our Prep students to dress up as their favourite character from the book. Where possible, please use items you already have at home to create the costume. We kindly ask that the costume reflects a character from the story—so no Elsa or Bluey this time! Students are not required to wear their school uniform tomorrow. 

Please look at the picture below with your child for some inspiration:

What we've been up to in Prep!

In Topic, we built the bridge from 'The Billy Goats Gruff'. Thank you for collecting recycled materials for us, we were able to have so much fun designing and creating bridges with your generous contributions! 

This week, we have been learning about all things Milo's Birthday Surprise related! We have made paper planes for Peter the Penguin and we have started making Party Hats for Milo's party. 

Upcoming Learning

Literacy

We’ve now learned the most common sound each letter of the alphabet makes! In the coming weeks, we’ll be revising these sounds and building on our skills by reading words with four sounds. Over the next two weeks, we’ll be reading Goldilocks and the Three Bears and The Gingerbread Man. We will learn two new Heart Words, 'are' and 'for'.

Mathematics

In weeks 7 and 8, we will be exploring capacity and mass. An opportunity to support this learning at home is to enjoying cooking together and talk about all the ways you are using measurement during the process. 

Topic 

In week 7, we are going to continue exploring different construction materials and build a bed for Goldilocks that is 'just right!'. We are also going give 'Goldi' some locks using gold paint. If you have any plastic bottle cap lids (eg. milk bottles or water bottles) we would greatly apprecitae any donations!

During week 8, we are going to be baking our own gingerbread men. Please let your classroom teacher aware of any dietary requirements. We are really looking forward to this!

Our Respectful Relationships for the following fortnight are focused on Positive Coping; 'How are you today?' and 'Calm time'.
