Prep

A big thank you to our wonderful volunteers that help support our PMP Program. Without your assistance, we wouldn’t’ be able to run this program. Just a reminder that we only have two more sessions for the year. Our students love Fridays, improving their skills and having fun, and it has been amazing to see the development and improvements to their throwing, catching, balance, coordination and skipping.

In Literacy, we have been revising our short vowel sounds, completing word chains and revising our heart words. This week we have been learning about the FLSZ Spelling Rule with 'ff', 'll', 'ss' and 'zz' words.

In Comprehension, we have been studying books written by Eric Carle, and this week our focus has been on the text ‘Hello, Red Fox’.

This week, we have commenced our ‘Me in a Bag’ presentations as part of the students’ assessments for Speaking and Listening. The children have enjoyed sharing their special items and explaining why they are important to them.

In Maths, we have been learning about ‘Capacity’ and how much objects can hold. The Preps have been using rice, sand and water to compare the capacity of different containers by scooping, counting, levelling and measuring with cups. Students also had to order items from smallest to largest capacity.

In Integrated Studies, we have been learning about special places and moving into human-made and natural objects. Our students were very excited to go down to explore the sanctuary and search for manmade and natural objects in the environment, such as metal, wire, rubber, rocks, stick, birds and plants.

This term, our whole school Junior School Council efforts will be supporting the Salvation Army charity. Each classroom is collecting non-perishable items, like cans of tuna, spaghetti, baked beans, pasta etc. We are also asking for donation of new toys, colouring books, textas etc. Our generosity will help support families that are not as fortunate.

Congratulations to Prep B for winning with the most online sign-ups for our upcoming Colour Fun Run! As part of their efforts, Prep B will receive their ‘Icy Pole Party’ on Thursday at lunch time thanks to our amazing Parents Association. Our Colour Run is one of our biggest events of the year and funds raised support our school. If you haven’t registered online, it's not too late to register and help raise funds for Yarra Road Primary School!
