Week 10 Term Two
The Prep cohort have been working hard on their Imaginary/Mixed Up animals to share to their family members at next week’s EXPO. They have been drawing detailed pictures, using strong colouring, labels and describing the animal habitat. The kids cannot wait to share these with you. The students are looking forward to next week’s incursion, where they will have a chance to encounter some Australian animals up close! What a great conclusion to a fantastic Connected Learning unit!
Other learning experiences in Prep over the past two weeks have included:
- Ordering the days of the week and thinking about events that occur on the different days of the week. The students have filled in their own weekly planner of their weekly events.
- Learning how to visualise during Reading sessions. Visualising means making a movie in your mind so you can understand a story better. The students have listened to music and read alouds without pictures and have drawn their own visualisations to match these. This will continue to be the focus for next week in Reading, moving onto using words and images from picture story books.
- Revising over Term Two’s phonemes and graphemes and high frequency words. They have been making great progress in writing down decodable dictation sentences using the sounds/letters they have learnt so far and known high frequency words.
