Library Borrowing

Hooray! Library borrowing has arrived. The Preps have gone home tonight with their new library bag and two books. 

They will be able to borrow up to two new books every Tuesday and Thursday. There is no need to return them straight away, they can be kept at home for up to two weeks.

We recommend that the library books "live" in their bag, to avoid confusion with books from home.

Enjoy!

Surprise!

This morning, the Preps discovered some new additions to our classroom.

We have four new fish that have moved in and they are loving their new home! However they are feeling a little sad because they don't have any names.

Community Walks

In the last two weeks of school the prep students will be walking to some of the kindergartens within the community.

The purpose of this visit is to remind them about the differences between kinder and school as well as to tell the kinder children all about school.

The prep students have made their own little book about some of the things we do at school and they will read them to the kinder children.

If you are interested in helping out with the walk, please let one of the prep teachers know.

Thank you,

The Prep Team

Shape Hunt

In Maths, for non-number, the Preps are learning about 2D shapes. We went for a shape hunt in the playground and then sorted pictures of these shapes into groups based on their characteristics (lines and edges). The Preps were so excited to discover how many different shapes there are in our school environment.
