Prep

Can you believe we are already half way through our first term in Prep! Prep students have settled in so incredibly well into their new routines and have worked hard to make positive friendships. Prep J students think the playground, sandpit, learning sounds and making friends has been their favourite part of prep so far.  

This week, Prep J have been so busy learning their sounds, we have even begun writing and spelling some small words in our books. We are all working very hard at writing our name correctly. We practise counting to 20 and have explored the classroom by looking for shapes. Prep J have enjoyed painting portraits of themselves. Mrs Small and Mrs Jensen are SO proud of everything Prep J have achieved so far this year!

1L’s Data Detectives! 

This term, 1L has been busy exploring how we can collect and present data in Maths. We started by using tally marks to record our favourite colours and pets, then transformed this data into pictographs. We discovered how graphs make it easy to compare information in a fun and visual way. 

On Friday, some of our students participated in their first session of Lolly Maths! Each student received a small packet of M&Ms or Skittles, sorted them by colour, and recorded their findings in a tally chart and pictograph. We then compared our data, noticing interesting similarities and differences between packets. It was a delicious way to learn about data collection and analysis!
