Moreland Primary Preps 2016

Hooray! Our blog is back up and running for 2016. 

The Preps have been at school for 3 days now and are settling in very well. 

Please ensure that you subscribe to our blog, as information about upcoming events, as well as photos of the Preps will be shared here. Please feel free to comment on our posts, we would love to hear from you!

Below are some photos of the Preps during Developmental Play, which occurs every day in Prep. It is a time for students to get to know each other, their teachers and classroom, to develop communication skills, consolidate their learning, practice behavioural norms (like sharing, turn taking) and school rules (such as looking after our things, being kind, listening to the teachers and moving safely around the room).

Week 10 & 11

As the year draws to a close, the Preps will begin to bring items home from school. 

This week, the Preps will be taking home their maths books and next week their literacy books. Other items such as artwork will begin coming home as well, so please check your child's tub regularly to avoid items building up. 

All reader and library bags will be collected next week. They will be sent up to the Grade 1 & 2 room, ready for the new year. Please ensure that your child still participates in reading books over the holidays.

If your child still has library books at home, can they please be brought back to school as soon as possible. All book are now overdue. 

Thank you for your assistance,

The Prep Team

Swimming Volunteers

Dear Parents,

We are looking for volunteers to help out with the walks to and from swimming over the next two weeks.  We will put up a roster on the pin board just in side the classroom.  If you could please fill it out it would be greatly appreciated. We will require 2-3 parents for each walk.  Parents are required to have a current working with children check and a copy must be left at the office, as well as being shown to staff on the day.  The students will be swimming in two groups. 

Group 1 will be leaving school at 12.20pm and returning by 1.40pm. 

Group 2 will be leaving school at 1.00pm and returning by 2.20pm

Parents are required for walking only (assistance with changing in the change rooms is not required). As the swimming venue is very hot, I recommend parents have a water bottle. Siblings are not able to come on the walk so please make alternative arrangements.

Kind Regards,

The Prep Team

After School Pick Ups

Just a reminder to all parents & caregivers, if your child is being picked up by someone other than the person who usually collects them from school, then can you please notify the teachers in the morning by email (morelandprimarypreps@gmail.com), phone (9386 2510) or in person.

Tahu Isi

Last term, some of the prep parents came in and taught the preps how to cook a traditional Indonesian dish called Tahu Isi. 

Tahu Isi is a popular snack food in Indonesia, and is battered and deep fried tofu puffs that are stuffed with vegetables. 

The Preps LOVED eating Tahu Isi, with most wanting seconds (including their teachers!).

Thank you to the parents who helped us make this dish. The Preps were involved in an authentic experience that linked to Indonesian studies. 

Here is a similiar recipe, just incase you would like to make Tahu Isi at home!
