Maths Adventures

In Maths, we’ve been discovering the weighty world of measurement! Students had a fantastic time using balancing scales to weigh objects, comparing which were heavier or lighter. They experimented with different items, explained their thinking, and developed a strong understanding of how we measure and compare things in our everyday lives. The classroom was buzzing with curiosity as students tested their ideas and explored measurement in a hands-on way.

Reading

Every morning the Preps enjoy reading to one another or by themselves. It is a lovely way to start our day!

Literacy Fun

This week in Literacy, our Preps have been busy becoming word detectives! They practiced reading and spelling tricky CCVCC words, building their confidence and fluency. In Writing, the students let their imaginations run wild as they created stories about a tent adventure. From pitching tents to exploring the great outdoors, our little authors loved sharing their ideas and bringing their adventures to life on paper. It’s been wonderful to see their creativity and storytelling skills grow!

Inquiry "A Taste of Greece"

Our Inquiry learning this week was extra special! We had the privilege of welcoming students from Koonung as part of their Live Life Program. Theo taught our Preps all about Greek culture, including traditional dancing, while Lucas and Leon helped support the learning. Students had a fantastic time learning Greek steps, listening to stories about Greek traditions, and even trying out some cultural activities themselves. It was an exciting and memorable experience that gave our Preps a real taste of another culture and created lots of smiles along the way!

Warm regards,
