Learning Walks in Prep: a celebration of growth and curiosity

In Weeks 3 and 4, our Prep students and teachers were thrilled to welcome families, along with Ms Skerman, Ms Azizian and Casper, to our Learning Walks. These special visits brought a sense of joy and connection to our classrooms, with Casper’s gentle presence adding an extra layer of warmth and excitement.

The Learning Walks offered a wonderful opportunity to showcase the rich learning that has unfolded throughout the semester. Parents were invited to observe firsthand the ways in which our students engage with their environment, exploring, questioning, collaborating and growing in confidence. From literacy and numeracy to social-emotional development, the walks highlighted the depth of curiosity and enthusiasm that Prep learners bring to school each day.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to all families who joined us, and to Ms Skerman, Ms Azizian and Casper for helping make our Learning Walks such a memorable and uplifting experience.

Mathematics spotlight: exploring capacity

 This term, our Mathematics focus has been on the concept of capacity. Students have been introduced to key vocabulary such as full, about half full and empty, and have applied these terms in practical, hands-on investigations.

Using materials like water, sand, rice and pasta, the students explored internal volume by pouring, comparing and estimating. These tactile experiences not only deepened their mathematical understanding but also encouraged collaborative thinking, language development and fine-motor skills. It has been a joy to see students engage so enthusiastically with these explorations, building foundational concepts in a playful and meaningful way.
