A Great Start! We have loved spending time with our Year 4 buddies this year! It’s been great to develop a friendship with them and have someone older to look up to. We enjoy seeing our buddies in the playground and asking them for help when we need it. One of our favourite moments was celebrating 100 days at school. We got to make delicious snacks and have fun with the Year 7 students too, which was really exciting. Our teachers even dressed up as old people, which made us laugh a lot! We are happy to be part of such a fun and caring school community.
PREP
TERM 1 In Term 1, our Prep students embraced creativity and mindfulness. During Learner Agency Hour, they delved into the art of zentangles—a relaxing activity that fosters focus, patience, and artistic confidence. Their intricate patterns reflected both creativity and care, highlighting their enjoyment of the mindful drawing process. TERM 2 In Term 2, our Prep learners crafted Gratitude Glasses as part of The Resilience Project. This engaging activity encouraged them to recognize and appreciate the small joys in life, from warm hugs to sunny skies. It provided a delightful way to practice gratitude and positivity daily. TERM 3 Term 3 marked the celebration of 100 days of learning, laughter, and growth in Prep. Students enjoyed a magical day filled with making fairy bread, decorating cookies, and participating in cross-age activities with Year 4 and Year 7 buddies. Teachers and students dressed up as if they were 100 years old, while others wore outfits themed around the number 100. It was a fantastic and memorable way to celebrate our incredible Prep students and all they had achieved in their first 100 days of school.
TERM 4 In Term 4, our Prep students had an enriching day at the farm. They planted seeds, patted guinea pigs, fed animals, and learned about caring for sheep. Students also engaged in crafts using real wool and took on farming tasks like shoveling and pushing wheelbarrows. The highlight was a ride on a real tractor, bringing smiles all around. It was a wonderful, hands-on day of learning, laughter, and muddy fun. Later in the Term, students began preparing for their transition to Year 1. They visited the Year 1 classrooms to get a feel for what next year would be like, helping build confidence and excitement for the new challenges ahead. They also continued diving deeper into the phonics code to create even more amazing pieces of writing. Linking Literacy and Science, students explored the much-loved text, Wombat Stew, as a springboard into learning about the difference between fiction and non-fiction texts. They read non-fiction books to discover fascinating facts about Australian animals.
