Book Week Parade

Next Monday 31st is the book week parade! I wonder if you have chosen your favourite book character yet, and who you might like to come dressed as? We have already had discussions in Prep A about coming as a fairy tale character as we have been reading lots of fairy tales this term. Please post in the comment sections below which book character you are thinking of coming as next Monday!

Study Ladder!

 Hi everyone,

Starting from this week, students will have the opportunity to go onto a website called 'study ladder' during our Reading groups. Students will complete literacy based activities that include a variety of reading and spelling strategies. During the week I will send home children's log on and password details and put them inside their yellow reading diaries. This will enable children to go onto studyladder from home to continue earning themselves points and to practice their learning in both Literacy and Numeracy at home!

Our Immersion day!

Today Prep A had a wonderful time during our Immersion session for our new Inquiry for this term. Our Inquiry this term is titled 'Hip Hip Hooray it's our 60th Birthday" with an emphasis on community celebrations: especially St. Mary's Parish 60th birthday. Today the children got to participate in a variety of celebration, fairy tale and measurement themed activities which reflects our writing of fairy tales and our measurement focus in mathematics. The kids had a ball! A big thank you to our parent helpers for recording our wonderings and for assisting with some of the activities. Our activities included: a gift wrapping station, play doh cake making, party invitation making, birthday party table, wedding dress ups corner, fairy tale costumes and castle and so many more! View the slideshow below to see a selection of photos from the day.

Celebrating with our buddies

We had a lovely time being able to see our buddies on our 100th day of school last Thursday. Prep A had so much fun writing a letter with their buddies help, to themselves as a 100 year old! We certainly had some interesting letters that were written! Below are some pictures from our day. In the comment section, tell us about the best part about having a year 6 Buddy?

100 Days of School !

Today we celebrated our 100th day of Prep and what a great day it was! We came to school wearing our t-shirts that we had made by including 100 of our favourite things. Miss Walton was suitably impressed at the creativity and effort made by all in creating these fabulous t-shirts! Great job everyone! We created '100 Days Smarter' crowns in the morning by decorating them with sequins and glitter. We also got to spend some time with our buddies and they helped us to write a letter to ourselves as a 100 year old! Here are some photos and a slideshow from our wonderful day. In the comment section below, tell us about the favourite part of the day!
