Foundation (Prep)

Reader's Workshop

This week Prep C were introduced to choice boards.  After focusing on the characters in a variety of stories, students were encouraged to choose an activity from the choice board and respond to a book. Creating the character out of scrap paper and writing a description about it was a popular choice, as was writing about who their favourite character was.  

Literacy/Inquiry

I was very impressed with Prep C's participation during Inquiry lessons this week. The students produced excellent writing pieces about what happens to our rubbish when it is dropped on the ground and makes its way into our waterways. We watched a short video called 'All the Way to the Ocean' and the children then demonstrated their understanding by writing about the topic. They had a great time making sea creatures to complement their writing and we then created a display of their work.

Maths

This week we continued to practise solving addition and subtraction problems. To challenge ourselves, we looked at mixed lists of sums and attempted to work out whether a maths problem was asking us to add or subtract. 

Thank you to all of our helpers!
