Semester 1 & 2

Welcome to the first semester of Prep! This semester Prep students will be exploring and learning all about Mathematical concepts such as number recognition and matching, patterns, measuring and shapes.  In Literacy, we will be learning all about letters and the sounds they make, reading strategies and writing about daily experiences from both home and school.

In sport we will be participating in an incursion program called Footsteps in Term 1 and we are looking forward to the Life Ed Van visiting in Term 4.  Our Integrated topics this semester are ‘Me at School’ (term 1) and ‘Me at Home’ (term 2).  As part of these topics we will be gaining an understanding of what it means to go to school, as well as visiting some of the Preps kindergartens in Term 1.  In Term 2 we will be learning about our families as part of our history curriculum.  We will be holding a ‘Parents and Grandparents Day’ as part of our exploration (date to be advised).  Across the Semester we will be learning all about China and Japan where we can look forward to some cooking, craft activities and other cultural explorations.
