Prep

This month, we had the pleasure of welcoming our Prep parents into our learning space! It was a wonderful opportunity for the children to proudly share their classroom, showcase their work, and involve their families in their learning journey. The students were beaming with pride as they guided their parents through activities and displays, and it was heartwarming to see such strong connections between home and school.

Our Prep students have also been enjoying their fortnightly DigiTech lessons with Mr Wang. Recently, they began learning about the different features of an iPad. From discovering how to navigate the home screen to exploring basic apps, the students are developing confidence and curiosity in using digital technology. These foundational skills are helping them become safe and capable digital learners in a fun and engaging way.

Our littlest learners have also been diving into the fascinating world of frogs as part of our science learning this term! To spark curiosity and excitement, we began our journey with a fun hands-on activity—using chia seeds to represent frogspawn. The students were captivated by the tiny “eggs” and eagerly discussed what might come next in the frog’s life cycle.

The excitement grew even more when we introduced our very own class tadpoles! The children have been observing them closely, noticing changes and asking thoughtful questions about how they grow and transform. This real-life experience has brought their learning to life and helped them understand the stages of metamorphosis in a meaningful and memorable way.

Stay tuned as we continue to watch our tadpoles grow – who knows when we’ll spot our first froglet!
