Me & My Family

Dear parents & grandparents,

This term the Preps are exploring the topic of “Me and My Family.”  As part of this investigation, next week the students will be writing about the differences between toys from the past and toys from the present. 

We are asking if parents or grandparents could find a toy from their childhood and either take a picture or bring it into the classroom by next Tuesday (28^th of April).

 Also, If you could have a chat to your child about any memories you have of using or playing with that particular toy. 

Thank you in advance for your assistance with this task,

The Prep Team

Elephant Toothpaste!

In the last week of Term 1, the Preps participated in a language experience activity. Language experience activities involve planned, purposeful 'doing and talking' together, which is then followed by writing and reading about the experience. Also, language experience activities make visible the links between spoken and written language. A lot of talk takes place, and the children become aware that writing arises from oral language.
