Meet the Buddies!

 

We've had a great time getting to know our Grade 5 buddies.  Every Friday we get together and do some sort of sporting or craft activity, then we sit, eat lunch and enjoy a good chat. 

Our First Two Weeks

Our First Two Weeks.....

It has been an action-packed fortnight for the Preps!  To begin with, we had the excitement of our first day at school when our families came in to visit.

We have begun visiting specialist teachers for Sport, Art, Japanese and Performing Arts.  Here we are with Sensei, and with Denise in the library...

At the end of Week 1, we learned how to do hip-hop dance moves and then performed in front of delighted parents. 

In Week 2, we learned some simple First Aid tips from the St John's Ambulance crew.  Sophia was a willing volunteer helper!

Now we are getting used to school routines and learning letter sounds and numbers.  We've listened to stories and completed lovely work.  Here we are drawing spectacular sunflowers after reading about The Sunflower that went Flop.

Stay tuned for news and pictures of us with our Grade 5 Buddies!



Welcome to Prep A, 2015!

A very warm welcome to the students and families of Prep A! As you can see, these lovely faces are shining with the great excitement and anticipation of all the wonderful learning experiences that school has to offer.

Farewell to Prep A - 2014

A tasty lunch was enjoyed by all Preps to celebrate the conclusion of a wonderful year together.  Farewell to this year's Preps and all the best for successful learning and great times to come in Grade 1.

Some reflections on our excursion....
I went on the Crown bus with my Buddy to Hays Paddock.  It took half an hour to get there.  I looked out the window and I saw cool houses.  When we got there we saw a huge playground and everyone wanted to play on it.  We had snack under some trees before we got to play on the playground.  First I went on the hammock. We had a big play!   Oliver
I had a marvellous time at Hays Paddock. We all had morning tea under the trees because we could get sunburnt.  Then we all went into the playground.  After that we had a long walk and we got to see the ducks.   Oscar
I had a super Grade Prep/Buddy excursion!  The first thing I did was go on the Crown bus with my Buddy and I sat next to her and we played I-spy.  After that, we had snack with our Buddies.  Then I went on the playground and my favourite bit was the swings.  Next, we went on a long, long walk around the park.  When we got back we had our lunch and I was very, very hungry!  Finally we had some races and my favourite was the piggyback race!  Last of all we went back to school and I was exhausted after that!  Lucy J.
I had a smashing time at Hays Paddock.  First we went on the bus, it looked cool and also it was a Crown bus.  We got to sit under shady trees for recess. There was a huge playground and I loved playing in the sandpit.  We went for a lovely walk and after that it was lunch time.  Later, my Buddy and I were in last place in the relay races.  I love my Buddy!  Om

We loved celebrating Book Week at the end of Term 3.  We enjoyed reading a variety of books and making all sorts of connections with and between the characters. Everyone made a huge effort to dress magnificently for our annual book character parade.
