Learning in J02

Junior School J02 Coote is sharing the learning taking place in their class…

What a busy last few weeks of Term One we had in J02! 

 

It was fantastic to have Community Helper Day, the Easter Bonnet Parade and Open Afternoon to show off our awesome learning. During the term, all Preps have been learning about communities and what services we need to help us and keep us safe. 

We even created our own community to display for our parents on Open Afternoon using some old boxes, our imagination and creativity. We have also been using our creativity to get our hands dirty with some paint while we have been learning about using different types of lines. 

Check out the awesome sharks we made that have zig zag teeth and our cool fish in our wavy water.

We have continued to meet new characters from Milo’s Birthday Surprise which has helped us learn 16 letters and their sounds. These letter sounds have allowed us to create some amazing pieces of writing using the characters Pip and Tim out of our Little Learners Love Literacy books. Check out some of our amazing writing!

 

Coming up in Term 2...

We will meet our last 10 characters from Milo’s Birthday Surprise this term. We will have learnt all the letters of the alphabet and will get to find out how the story ends! Will Milo get the birthday party he has been hoping for? We have our very first excursion coming up this month to the Cranbourne Royal Botanic Gardens as part of our Indigenous Studies inquiry unit. We are so excited and look forward to sharing all about it! 

 

This term we will be focusing on learning about primary colours in Art and using those colours and our recent learning about line to make interesting artwork. These are just some of the many wonderful things we have going on this term in Prep Land. It sure is going to be another awesome term of learning!
