100 Days at School.

The Preps have celebrated their first 100 days at school! With a variety of activities throughout the day, delicious fresh fruit snacks to eat and some little treats, this was truly a momentous day. The Grade 1s in our class even got to join in some of the fun!

 

 

 

 

Batty maths!
After listening to the story of Stellaluna and finding out about bats, we decided to measure the ones we made.  Now we know their wing span, height, area and even the perimeter of their bodies - in unifix of course!

Autumn fun!
We've been loving autumn.  Our school yard has amazing play spaces and lots of beautiful shady trees which as you can see...lose their leaves in autumn. Yippee!

What have we been up to in P/1C?

Grandparents and Special Visitors' Day...

We've been busy with all sorts of things at school!
Last Friday we were delighted to have many visitors to the Prep area.  After listening to the Preps sing at Assembly, our visitors came back to the class to look at all our lovely work and play a maths game we had practised.  What a crowd!  Thank you for coming to see us at school!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Recently during Mathematics sessions we've been working individually, in pairs and small groups to create patterns with shapes, sort, classify and graph them.  After drawing maps of their bedrooms, Grade 1s then used linking cubes to make 3D models of their contents and then arrange them to plan.

 

Garden visit..
This week in Science we had a think about how as living things we have five major senses to help us find out about the world around us.  Our senses of sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell help us to observe, interpret and understand our environment.  They can alert us to dangers too.

Where better to start our investigations other than in the school garden which is full of interesting sights and scents! 
Rosemary, oregano, spring onion, Vietnamese mint, bay leaves, thyme ...plenty to sniff at and rub between our fingers!  Thank you Mrs Hicks for showing us around.
