Prep Team

Look at us go in Prep! 

What an amazing start to the year the preps have had! The students have now had a wonderful 66 days in prep and Mrs Dullard, Mrs Bunker, Mrs Thorne and Miss Williams could not be prouder of how they are representing Orchard Park Primary School. The students have been demonstrating the four values (Safety, Responsibility, Resilience, and Respect) during their learning as well as in the yard at recess and lunch. Along with the values, the students' approach to their learning has been nothing short of incredible. 

In Literacy the students have enjoyed practising their sounds through Reading and Writing this term. We are currently focusing on words with three sounds as well as our tricky words. This week we practised our tricky words in our writing where we wrote about what we did on the weekend. We have also put up our tricky words around the Prep community so we are practising reading them throughout the day. 

In Numeracy, we have been focusing on representing data in different ways. We looked at how many boys and girls we had in our classes and showed this data through tally marking. We used a graph to represent different foods in a fruit shop and different animals under the sea. 

We have also been looking at ‘Friends of Ten’ in prep this term! We have been playing lots of games where we are practising identifying the different ways we can make ten! Ask us about who are friends! We would love to tell you all about it! 

It is fair to say that the Preps have had a fantastic start to Term 2 and we can’t wait to see all that we achieve and the memories we will make.
