Over the past two weeks the Prep students have spent time in each of the various prep classes learning about the cultures and celebrations in Japan, Germany and Italy. These learnings have been documented in an ever growing passport that will be shared to their families during EXPO next week.
Other learning experiences in Prep over the past two weeks have included:
- Responding to various texts and connecting these to their own feelings and experiences (text to self connections).
- Practising how to correctly count to 20 and beyond, ensuring that all items are counted.
- Estimating before counting
- Putting items in a line, pointing to each one and giving it a number, saying the number at the end and knowing this is how many in the collection.
- Understanding the various parts of a day and what events happen during the morning, lunch, afternoon and evening times.
- Learning the various letters that make the A sound such as ay, ai and a_e in phonics.
- Being introduced to the ground, grass and sky dotted third lines to form letters correctly and the right size.
- Playing together as a cohort during our Developmental Play sessions.
