P is for pancakes!

On Friday, the Preps made pancakes. Language experience activities, such as making pancakes, are used to motivate leaners and make visible links between spoken and written language. The Preps brainstormed words about what they saw, smelt and tasted (identifying sounds they could hear in those words, for example pancakes starts with p) and used these in their writing.

Teddy Bears Picnic

Last Friday, the Preps had their teddy bears picnic. We ate teddy bear biscuits and sang the song with our teddies. Next, the showed our teddies around our room and introduced them to our friends. The preps used this experience as a stimulus for their writing.
