Action Required: Prep Inquiry Sharing

Dear parents/carers,

As a part of our current inquiry, we are looking into ‘spaces’, exploring our school environment and discovering how we connect with these spaces in different ways. We are looking at different spaces around the school and how we feel or react to those environments. We would like to make a connection with the children’s home lives in order to compare spaces we see at school and at home.

To do this, we are asking each prep child to bring in a photo, object, drawing or video of a space at home that is important to them. We will be creating a ‘space’ mural to display and reflect on all the different types of special spaces and what makes them special. For example, a child might bring in special ‘space’ drawing or photo of their drawing desk, inside their cubby, a tree in the garden, their toy box…

The children will be asked to share their space with a group and explain why this space is special to them.

We encourage parents to have a conversation with their child about their choice of space as this will prepare them for their sharing time.

As preps come in with their photo/drawing, they will be given the opportunity to share this. We would like all ‘space’ sharing to be brought in before Friday 19^th February.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask one of the prep team.

Thank you,

Hilary, Elizabeth and Maddy.
