Prep

Where to start...

The preps have had a smooth transition into school life. We have been learning about lots and lots and lots of different things! We have been practicing all our different routines in the classroom to get ourselves ready to learn. Everyone has been doing a MAGNIFICENT job!

Reading

In Reading we have been learning about all the different parts of books, for example, the front cover, and how we read through books from left to right. We went to the library this week and got to check out all the awesome books we have! 

Writing

In Writing, we have been learning about tracing letters, writing our names, and drawing pictures. We used pictures to create our own stories and talked about these with our classmates!

Maths

In Maths, we have been learning about solving problems and showing our thinking in different ways. We are exploring numbers from 0-20. Check out how we explored the number 5 this week!

Humanities

We are learning about Geography and our place in the world. This week the students explored different places they go to and where they live. 

Wellbeing

In Wellbeing, we have been learning about different emotions. The students did a fantastic job of acting out different emotions. For example, angry, happy, scared, proud, etc. We connected this with our whole school approach 'Zones of Regulation.' It was been wonderful to see so many of our students identifying how they are feeling throughout the day!

We also began to explore what a 'growth mindset' is and how this can help us become better learners.

We have had a wonderful start to the school year and we can't wait to see what the rest of Term 1 has in stall for us! Please reach out if you have any questions and we will be more than happy to help where we can!

Thank you,

Ashlee and Ryan
