Prep

Welcome!!! 

What a start to the year we have had. The students have had a wonderful start to school. It has been so much fun meeting everyone and seeing so many of the kids ready to learn! Great work everyone! 

Check out the smiling faces of all our Prep students below! 

Thank you to the families who attended the meet-and-greet night. It was great to see so many families come to enjoy a snag or two and some baked goodies! 

Special Guests

We were very lucky to have some of the Geelong Football players visit us at school. Students had the opportunity to ask questions of the players and practice their handballing skills. The students (and teachers) had an awesome time! 

Literacy

In Literacy, we have been exploring all things reading and writing. Students have been learning about different letters, starting with a, i, m, s and t. We have been looking at how to write these letters, what sounds they represent and how we can blend these sounds together to make words. 

We have been exploring books and exploring all the different features they have, including the front cover, back cover, title, author and the spine. Students have been talking and representing their favourite parts of the books as well. 

Maths

In maths, we have been learning about how to be a good mathematician. Students are exploring how it's okay to find something hard and to know that you can ask for help. We have explored lots of our resources in the classroom and how they will help us to share our knowledge about numbers. 

Students have also been learning lots of different maths games, including Tug of War, Bingo and Go Fish. 

Wellbeing

In Wellbeing, we have explored so many things already. This includes our ready-to-learn scale and our zones of regulation. Students have been talking about their classroom expectations and how it is important to show a growth mindset and to celebrate our mistakes.

Thanks,
