KOALAS

This week we have been learning about Australian Animals. We have loved learning about platypuses, koalas and kangaroos but our favourite was the wombat. We will have some of our fabulous writing up for open night and you can read some of our sentences about Australian Animals. We did some writing about all 4 animals and then selected the one that we thought was our best writing to publish. We also did a directed drawing of a koala. Miss Mac gave us step by step instructions. Everyone did such fantastic listening and they all look fabulous. Here is a look at the first step- the drawing. You will see the finished product hanging up in the corridor this week. 

STOMP DANCE

We cannot wait to show you our hip hop dance moves that we have been learning in our 'STOMP- dance classes'. Here is a sneak peak. We have learnt 5 dances, and we are performing one for the parents on Open Night next week.

MOTHERS DAY

We love our mums so much. Prep C loved drawing their mum and adding special details such as their mums favourite coloured clothes, jewellery, hair style etc. They then drew love hearts using pastel and painting patterns using colours they thought their mums would love. They told Miss Mac all the things they loved about their mums and stuck them all over their art work. And then of course there was the special glitter paper hearts. We love shiny, glittery things in Prep C! We hope that you loved them, along with your special card. 

THE SCHOOL GARDEN

This week we are learning about bugs as part of our Integrated topic. We went out to the school vegetable garden and we went on a hunt for bugs. It had been raining so we saw so many snails, even tiny baby snails. Most of the other bugs were hiding but we did see some flies, butterflies, slugs and lots of worms and snails.

I AM LUCKY BECAUSE ...

KITES

We made kites with our buddies this week as we have been learning about the 'k' sound. We had to draw a plan of our kite first and then make our good copy look like our plan. We were told the materials we could use before we planned and we had to work together with our buddies to get the kite made so that we could fly it together. Here we are with our kites and our buddies.

SUPER EGG DAY

On the last day of Term 1 we celebrated a school tradition ' Super Egg'. Each student filled their plastic egg and sealed it back together. Prep C eggs were filled with toys, marbles, play dough, wishing stones, dolls, smarties, concrete, batteries- and that is not even all. Some students even decided to decorate the outside with stickers and nail polish. When it was our turn we lined up and raced our eggs down the 'Super Dome'. The winner from each class went in the final race against the 'Super egg'.
