Week 3 Learning Focus

Dear Prep Families,

Here is an outline of what the preps have been learning about this week:

Maths
'Ten New Preps' challenge (if there were ten new preps coming to the school, how many might be boys and how many might be girls?) Making 10 with two numbers (number facts, eg, 6 and 4 make 10).

Inquiry
How can we make a special space for our inquiry monster? (Comfort monster, nature monster, building monster)

Writing
Letter writing: the students wrote a letter to their inquiry monster asking them questions about what they would like when they stay with us.
Feelings about circus - writing the sentence 'I am feeling _____ about circus tonight.'

Reading
Story sequencing: ordering the events in a story.
Shared reading experiences and discussion of useful strategies for reading such as using the initial sound, getting your knowledge ready, making predictions and repetition.

Thanks,
The Prep Team
