Prep

We are very busy learners in Prep… 

This term in mathematics we are focusing on correct number formation. To help remember how to correctly form our numbers we can say rhymes as we write each number…

1 = A downward stroke, my that’s fun. Now I’ve made the number one.

2 = Half a heart says, I love you. Now add a line and I’ve made the number two

3 = Around the tree, around the tree. Now I’ve made the number three.

4 = Down and across. Now down once more. I have made the number four.

For literacy we are continuing to learn how to write our name from left to right with correct use of upper-case and lower-case letters.  

During our PreLit lesson we continue to learn about the letters (graphemes) S, T and M and the sound (phoneme) these letters make. We like to play the game Eye Spy and try to identify objects in our room that begin with these sounds.

As part of our Interdisciplinary Unit of Work (IDU) we have been researching some factual information about different farm animals. We can describe the appearance of sheep and the diet of cows. Through play we also develop and reinforce what we are learning about in class.
