Over the past several weeks, the students in Prep participated in a variety of hands-on learning activities designed to spark curiosity about marine life. They found great joy in exploring a sensory \u2018under the sea\u2019 tray, which featured blue rice, kinetic sand and an assortment of plastic sea creatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The students have been learning to follow instructions from their teachers while collaboratively completing simple tasks, such as preparing playdough and making jelly. Using the playdough, they made two-dimensional shapes, reinforcing the concepts taught in Mathematics. The students eagerly took turns to mix both the playdough and the jelly, with much excitement over the prospect of taking their jelly home to enjoy. To celebrate, we sang and performed the actions to Jelly on a Plate<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
