This term the Preps will be going on community walks as part of their inquiry unit, and today we had a practice to get used to walking with a clipboard and collecting information.
We practiced walking in a line, staying with our partner and ensuring that there were no gaps. Once everyone was ready, we set off through the office out onto De Carle St.
Our first stop was at the house next to the school, where they were getting their olive tree pruned. The Preps stopped and drew a picture of this, using labels to describe the details of their drawing.
Once we had finished our walk we headed back to school and discussed things that we had seen, heard or smelt along the way. We collected lavender and we talked about how it smelt and where they had seen it before and how "bees love it".
We cannot wait to go on our walk next week!
