PREP NEWS 

Welcome!

We are delighted to welcome Ved, a wonderful new addition to our Prep cohort!

Literacy

This week in Literacy, we've been learning about using the letter 's' at the end of CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words to make them plural. The students have been focusing on decoding these words and practicing reading with partners. In writing, we continued with weekend recounts and writing simple sentences. For reading, we emphasized comprehension and creativity. We read "Knuffle Bunny" and "The Pigeon Finds a Hotdog" and discussed the main characters. The students then got creative, coming up with their own titles like "The Pigeon Finds..."

Numeracy

In Numeracy, we've been refreshing our knowledge of addition before we start exploring subtraction next week. Students used concrete materials to work with partners, enhancing their understanding of addition.

Homework

Students brought home the Week 2 homework menu on Monday, along with a new writing book to complete their homework in. Please ensure students bring this back the following Monday.
