The Prep students have been excited to begin learning to read and write graphemes (letters). So far, we have learnt to write m, a, t and s, and are using these to build simple words such as at, as, mat, Sam and Tam. We have also started using our new Handwriting Books to practise correct letter formation for both upper and lower case letters. We continue to explore rhyming and are now learning to clap and count the syllables in words we hear and say.
In Mathematics, we have been counting collections and using the terms more, less and equal to describe them. We enjoy playing a variety of games to practise subitising, counting and writing numerals. We have also been creating patterns and exploring the features of different shapes. With the help of our buddies, we explored measuring length by tracing around our bodies with chalk and counting how many footsteps tall we are.
In Connected Learning, we have been working on a special surprise poster for Expo. We have also been learning about our feelings and emotions, using good manners, and understanding our personal space bubbles. We are looking forward to a visit from the Fire Brigade next week!
