 Term 2 posts. Leading Senior Constable Millin came to visit and taught us all about the police. We got to dress up in police uniforms and sit in a police car.  We loved it!! Some firemen came to visit the preps and teach us how to be safe.  We learned that if there is a fire in our school or house we should get down low and go, go, go! The firemen showed us the equipment they have to wear to fires and we got to have a go at the fire hose! We made bread rolls when we were reading the story of The Little Red Hen. We had to mix the ingredients, knead the dough, let it rise, knead the dough again ad make the rolls, let it rise again, and then cook it. We also made our own butter by shaking cream and marbles in a jar. We put our own butter on the rolls and got to eat them while they were still warm. It was so yummy! On the last day of term we watched the Quidditch Grand Final for the grade three to six students. There was a band from Blackburn High School playing Harry Po

Welcome back! We have had a busy start to term 2 in Prep A. We've started to study Joy Cowley books, looking specifically at rhyme. The preps had great fun reading the book 'Smarty Pants'.  We turned ourselves into Smarty Pants, as you can see from the photos below. Then we studied ANZAC Day. We read two great books, 'Grandpa marches on ANZAC Day' and 'Lest We Forget'. The books really helped us learn about the ANZAC soldiers. We thought about why need to do remember the ANZACs and did some fabulous art work. Look for it on the Blog soon!

On the last day of term we had the Super Egg competition. Everyone was very excited to wear whatever we wanted, and we had our eggs decorated and ready to go.  After assembly we took our eggs outside ready for the heats.  Here is our race: We were very excited, and Eliza won our heat! That meant that she got to go into the semi final to see who raced against Super Egg in the final.  Eliza didn't win this race, but her big sister did! It was a fabulous and exciting way to end our first term in prep!

Digging for Treasure

We spent a fun morning digging for 'treasure' in frozen bicarb, glitter and water blocks. We added vinegar to the blocks and used a spoon to dig for the hidden gems inside.  We had so much fun.  Afterwards we wrote stories about digging for treasure.

WELCOME TO THE PREP A BLOG!  HERE YOU WILL SEE MANY OF OUR LEARNING TASKS AND GET A GLIMPSE INTO WHAT WE DO AT SCHOOL.  Here is our first day in Prep A.  We had such a great day getting to know each other. Don't you love our Prep crowns? Last week in maths we studied 2D shapes.  One of our fun activities was making shape pizzas. We had to cut out the shapes and stick them onto our pizzas, then say how many of each shape was on our pizza. We really enjoyed this activity!
