Term 3 Week 1 2009
I hope you all had a great holiday! I am sure the Preps will have lots to write about in their diaries and lots of exiting things to tell us in ‘Show and Tell’
This week in Literacy have revised the letters ‘f,p,o,k,n’. In Math’s we have revised the numbers 0-10 and we have looked at ways of recording data by using Tally marks and pictographs.
Here are some fun activities you could try at home:
Rhyming Rockets Try level 1 first.
On Wednesday we designed toys that move. We designed, created and then evaluated our designs. After that we went outside to test our toys we had lots of fun. We can push, pull and roll our toys!
Term 3 Week 2 2009
Our letter of the week was ‘Jj’. In Math’s we have been practising all the different ways that we can make 10. We also played games like snakes and ladders so we could practise counting the total of dice.
On Wednesday and Thursday we had our ‘Three Way Conferences” . These went really well. The teachers and parents are really proud of the Preps achievements.
On Friday we finished our Integrated unit “On The Move”. The Preps brought in scooters and bicycles for our “Transport day”. We took our transport down to the netball courts and we practised being safe drivers and pedestrians. It was lots of fun!
Term 3 Week 3 2009
Our letter of the week was ‘Ll’. In Math’s we have been learning to skip count in 10’s.
In Integrated studies we started our unit of work “Down on the Farm”, the Preps completed a mind map and drew the things that they know about farms.
On Wednesday and Thursday the Kinder kids visited our Prep Classrooms. The preps enjoyed being the ‘big kids’, showing of their classroom and playing with their Kinder friends in the Prep playground.
On Friday in our language experience the Preps made lists. In the afternoon the preps got a suprise lolliops had been lurking in Mrs Tuck’s office mmm… licking lovely lollipops!
Term 3 Week 4 2009
This week our letter of the week is ‘Bb’. We thought of lots of ‘Bb’ words. Here is our wordle.
In our reading groups we have been trialling “Reading Eggs” the Preps really enjoy being “Eggsplorers”.
What is so special about the number 11? We have been exploring the number 11 and making number stories. We have been practising counting in tens.
We have been learning to format text in wordpad. The preps really enjoyed writing their names changing the font and size of their text.
We have been sorting farm animals according to their features in integrated studies and we are exited about our excursion to Myuna Farm next week.
On Friday we blew bubbles. Prep JT played with touchable bubbles. They had lots of fun. We made Butterflies in our beautiful books.
Here is a link to a story Prep BC watched about Digby the Mole Chasing a butterfly.
Term 3 Week 5 2009
Our letter of the week is W. We thought of lots of wonderful words! Here are our Wordles:
In Maths we are learning about open and closed shapes. We made open and closed paddocks for our farm animals. We used sticks and blocks to make our paddocks.
Mrs Wishy Washy visited Prep JT. She brought her animals and washed them in the tub! “Oh lovely mud,” said the animals.

Hi from Mr. Pryor in Los Angeles. Loved your blog kids (and Mrs. Tuck & Mrs. B.C. of course). I particularly enjoyed the photos of the transport day – great to see so many bikes – very enviro-friendly. Looking forward to seeing some photos of the rocket launch. I was very disappointed to miss that one!
Bye from a sunny day! Mr. Pryor.

We are pleased that you like the blog. It is a shame that you missed the launch!
Mrs G sorted out a few of the technical glitches today and we had the opportunity to launch some more rockets this morning. We will get some photos or footage from today up on the Integrated studies pages of our blog shortly.
