Foundation (Prep)

HAPPY 100 DAYS OF SCHOOL!!

Together we are 100 days smarter! 

 

On Friday the 22nd of July 2022, the Foundation students reached a once in a life time milestone – 100 days of school, for the very first time!!!  

 

Students were encouraged to come to school dressed as a person who is 100 years old, the number 100, have 100’s all over them, or what they wanted to be when they grow up. They definitely did not disappoint with so many amazing great costumes! They all looked absolutely fantastic!

 

Have a look at some of our costumes!!

 

 

On this very special day, they participated in many different and fun learning activities that related to the number 100. We joined in creating gum ball machines with 100 balls and made 100 days smarter hats! We sorted 10 groups of 10 things around the room and talked about different ways we can create the number 100!!! It was such a fun day! 

Congratulations and well done Prep C!!

 

In Literacy this week:

We have been focusing on the letter 'Ff' this week and the sound 'th' - as in thing. We had fun using whiteboards to write 'f' words. We have also been looking at summarising stories and retelling the main ideas. For example: the beginning, the middle and the end of a story. We have also been practising writing our lower case and upper case letters correctly on the line and focussing on using full stops in the correct place.

 

 

Here is some of us practising our handwriting for the letter 'Ff'

 

In Maths this week:

We have been revising measurement and how we estimate and then check our measurement. We have also been revising time - as in 'o'clock' and sequencing the days of the week. We were also revising our friends of ten and completed a lot of 100 days of school maths activities on Friday!
