Prep

This week in Prep D and S, we have been reading Goldilocks and the Three Bears. After identifying the parts of the story that we liked and didn’t like, we also wrote about something that Goldilocks might be sorry for if she were to write an apology letter. We also have some very sweet directed drawings in our classrooms on display. 

While we continue to improve and extending our number knowledge, we have been focusing on sharing. This is the initial understanding that will lead us into division as we grow. We have completed many and on activities that involved equal sharing with friends and why our sharing always needs to be equal.  

Book week was also a highlight of our week. We saw race cars, witches, wizards, Little Red Riding Hoods, unicorns, princesses and more. Thank you for supporting this fun filled day and making it a brilliant day for all! 

Year 1

This week 1V worked with a partner to make Fairy Bread, following all the steps of a procedural text (recipe). It involved skills like spreading the butter and cutting the bread in half with a wooden knife (tricky). After the Fairy Bread was eaten for morning tea they had to write down all the steps required to make Fairy Bread.  They all did an amazing job! They are now looking forward to the next cooking experience.

Year 2

It’s been a busy start to the term in 2B. Last week we had some visitors from another school who came to check out The Resilience Project. We wrote them a persuasive letter to tell them our opinion about TRP and reasons why they should implement it in their school. This week in The Resilience Project we created a Compliments Tree with kind messages to our classmates. We also reflected on how giving and receiving kind words give us positive emotions. We’ve continued our work on persuasive writing this week with students writing their own letters this time, linked to the story ‘The Day the Crayons Quit.’ Parents better watch out because their persuasive skills were incredible. Savannah’s awesome writing made it onto our Bump It Up wall, and we all learned lots about how to improve our own writing by reading hers.
