End of term finish.

A reminder to all parents that school finishes at 2:30pm tomorrow (Friday). You can pick up your child from the Prep Neighbourhood. We wish you all a safe and enjoyable holiday!

Monster Celebration!

A huge WELL DONE to all the preps for finishing such a busy and exciting first half year of school!!!!! Here are some photos of the Celebration yesterday. We were so proud of what you have achieved and we look forward to the second half of the year with you. We wish all the parents and students a well-deserved, safe and relaxing break.

Purple Group - Pizza Party

The Pizza Party for Purple group will be early next term.

Visual Art News

In term 3 all students will be exploring the work of Australian artist John Wolseley. The NGV Australia is currently showing a wonderful exhibition of Wolseley's work and it would fantastic if students are able to visit the exhibition in the holidays so they are familiar with his work and are able to view it close up. (The intricacies of his line work  and mark making do get lost in photographs and reproductions.)

 

Many thanks,

Hannah Rother-Gelder

Visual Art teacher

 

 

Calling out for stockings!

Nature group are going to be making grass heads for Nature Monster.

If there are any parents who have stockings with holes that they would like to donate, please drop them off to the Learning Commons. Maddy will have a container for them to go in.

Here is a video of what we would like to make during Learning Agreement. (Ours will be slightly different though and made with soil)

Many thanks in advance!

Update on Comfort Group Inquiry

Comfort Group has been very busy during Learning Agreement time. Here are some of the things that we have been doing:

• Creating stories for our Comfort Monster library
• Creating Kimochis and sock puppets
• We talked about the Kimochis and we decided that Comfort Monster is most like Bug and Cloud
• We measured ourselves with our feet, and used Comfort Monster's foot to find out how big he might be

Thanks, Elizabeth

A Big Thankyou

On behalf of the Comfort Group, we would like to say a BIG thankyou to Erin and Russell (Hamish's family) for building us a tent for Comfort Monster. We love it!

Also, thank you to all our wonderful parents who have been helping out in the prep neighbourhood! We very much appreciate your efforts :)

Thanks,

Elizabeth, Hilary and Maddy
