Hello Prep T Families,
What a fantastic week we had in our Prep T learning studio.
Colour Run Explosion!
Our School Run 4 Fun was a very eventful day. The Prep cohort was able to join together and walk or run the race. It was a very exciting time for our Prep friends, especially when they had the opportunity to squirt themselves with colour powder!
Literacy
We introduced our topic of ‘Dinosaurs’. We read and explored fiction texts, including ‘Crunch Munch’ and ‘If the dinosaurs came back!’ We also continued Learning Centres in our Reading sessions to consolidate targeted reading and spelling skills in small groups.
Maths
In Maths, we commenced our new unit of addition. Students had the opportunity to explore when two or more numbers are added together the result is ‘more’. During our Maths Rotations, students have consolidated their learning by continuing to build strategies such as counting on, doubles, adding 10 and counting all (counts on from one number to find the total of two collections).
In Week 8, we will be investigating the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction, e.g. 7 + 2 = 9 and 9 – 2 = 7.
Religion
In Religion, children made their own model of something God created. This week, we began our new unit of ‘Advent’. Every Monday, we will be participating in whole school liturgies through Google Meets to lead us into a time of waiting and hope for the coming and birth of Christ.
Things to note:
Week 8 Show and Tell children are asked to bring their Advent sheet that was sent home on Friday. Students will need to draw and explain a time they have had to wait for something special.
