Prep Guy
Last week in our room we began learning all about school. Students learnt the routines for the school days, how to be good friends, where everything is and how to be resilient racoons, responsible rhinos and respectful rabbits. This week we continued learning school routines, getting to know each other and enjoying school. Please remember to listen to your child read every afternoon/ night and sign their diary so their reading nights can be totalled every week for our reading awards.
Prep Guy's Student Of The Week
Well done to all Prep students for settling into school so well. I am very proud of everyone for learning to be resilient racoons, responsible rhinos and respectful rabbits.
Mrs Jane Guy, Miss Brooke Jansz.
Grade 1/2 Smith & Stoll
Welcome back to all our families for another fun and exciting year of school, a special welcome to our new families to the Bunyip PS community.
We have loved getting to know our new grades in these first couple of weeks and have done activities to find out all about each other. We have talked about being a good friend, a good learner and different ways to show kindness to others.
This week in Reading we have been building our classroom library with fiction books that we will explore throughout the term. We also borrowed some books for our personal book boxes that we can read after Reading Circles or can take home to share with our families. We have started Reading Circles every morning at 9.00am and welcome any parent helpers that would like to come and listen to students reading but please make sure that the Office has received a copy of your Working with Children Check in order to help in the classroom.
We have been writing about events that have happened to us and we have been learning to add describing words to our writing. We have also been learning to spell some commonly used words and have explored words that have an 'a' like in ant sound.
In Maths we have begun exploring counting and numbers to 100.
Please remember to sign each night that you read with your child so that we can add up their nights read at home. A signature on each day read will let us know that your child read that night. It could be to an adult, to a pet or to a teddy. At this age it is important for children to practice reading aloud.
We can't wait to learn together with our wonderful grades and families.
Mrs Kelly Smith, Miss Kate Stoll, Ms Liz Wahl.
