Fun in Prep

This week, the Prep students have been reading and writing the words “ king” and “queen”, as they are learning the sounds and letters “k” and “qu”. We decided to make our own queen and king crowns. Mrs Jones had the great idea of using coloured cellophane to make jewels. The Prep children loved making and of course, wearing their beautiful crowns!

This photo shows the students from Prep S wearing their crowns on Tuesday. The students from Prep J made and wore their crowns home on Monday (and we forgot to take a photo)!

Mothers' Day

Mothers' Day was celebrated in the Prep classrooms with an afternoon tea. The students prepared some food and gifts which they had great delight in sharing with their mothers. They also shared some of the reasons why they love their Mum. Because she loves me! Because she cooks for me! Because she teaches me! Because she tucks me into bed at night! Because she plays games with me! Because she hugs and kisses me! We praise God for the wonderful gift of Mothers!

Kew Traffic School

The Year 1s recently went on an excursion to Kew Traffic School.  Year 1s enjoyed learning all about road safety as part of the Year 1 Health program.

Year 1 Stories

The Year 1 students were given the beginning of a story. They then had to be creative and write an ending for it. Here is what some of them came up with.

Simpson the Slug

One day a slug called Simpson woke from his sleep. He slowly got out of bed, but it took him all day. His friends tried to make him go faster. They invented a go faster device. The device exploded!

Then POOF! His friends had launched him into the sky! The device had exploded him into the air. He had landed in someone’s garden. It was a slug’s garden. Then a slug came into the garden. The slug’s name was Bethany and she liked Simpson very much. The pair got married and they lived happily ever after. Macsen Teng 1O

He landed in a park. He liked the park and played there. He saw lots of houses. He walked around the houses and around the world. He was very, very slow! Livia Abraham 1O

He landed in the city. He saw lots of people there. Then he saw a giant sky wheel. He was so excited that he went on it. He loved it so much that he wanted to live there, but it was too hot. He dug a hole in the sand and slept for a long time. He played and slept and then woke up. It had all been a dream!  Michelle Chen 1O

The Year 2 students enjoyed a wonderful excursion at Mont De Lancey. 

We learned some wonderful things about the olden days - how they lived, how the learned, what school was like and the different toys that were played with. 

We had a great day albeit the cold!
