WE CAN BE INDEPENDENT!

With semester 1 coming to a close our Preps are almost half way through their first year at school!

Now that the students know the routine of school we are encouraging more independence – both in the morning & throughout the day.

Students are encouraged to carry their own bag in and organise themselves for the day ahead.

They are encouraged to work independently for longer periods throughout the day & be a problem solver when they are unsure.

We are very proud of how far they have come so far & know they can continue to grow as independent individuals J

Out & about with the Preps!

The Preps have been super busy getting out & about lately!

Following are some of the things we have been up to and some photos.

Excursion to the You Yangs

 

Walkathon

 

Walk to Centreway to look at shops & count cars

(check out our graphs and shop displays in our classrooms)

 

Reading Keys

Please find below a slideshow with the key reading strategies we are teaching our Preps.
Feel free to use these prompts when reading with your child at home.
Continue to work through your M100W but remember that each child works at their own pace.

 

Lately the Preps' have been busy “subitising”. This is when you know how many there are in a group without having to count one by one. Please find below a short clip that students can view to practise learning how to “look fast with my eyes – I know how to subitise” Enjoy!
