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!

Questions About The Past

Dear Parents/Carers,

These holidays the Preps have a little project.

As part of the history unit this year, students need to develop a narrative about the past.

The Preps have been busy thinking about questions they could ask family members or a special person in their life about what it used to be like when they were children.

Students will be coming home with a paper bag with some questions enclosed.  If you could find some time for them to ask these questions to a ‘special person’ and bring the answers back to school at the beginning of Term 4, where they will then get a chance to present the information they have learnt.  This is not a writing activity for the students, so if you can write the responses down for them so they can remember the responses that would be greatly appreciated.

If you have any questions regarding this activity, please don’t hesitate to contact one of the prep teachers.

Thanks in advance,

Miss Jennah, Freya and Kellie

Book Week

Last Monday, MPS celebrated book week. The students dressed up as their favourite characters from books, such as Alice in Wonderland, Wally and Peter Pan (to name a few). The Preps then worked with the Grade 5/6's, creating pieces of art that focused on some of the nominated picture books.
