Happy week 5! I can’t believe the term is already half over – time flies when you’re having fun!  

Prep has been very busy so far this term with lots of fun things happening in all learning areas. We’ve been working hard building our phonological awareness and introducing letters and sounds to help us with our beginning reading skills. In Maths, we’ve been focusing on 2D shapes and numbers to 10 which has seen us adventuring around school and doing lots of fun hands-on activities. During Science we’ve been exploring living and non-living and have enjoyed learning about the things living things need to survive. In Religion, we’ve continued our learning about God’s creations and have also moved into exploring having the right to make choices and that choices can be both good and poor. In Technologies, we’ve been learning all about food production and have found it fascinating learning about how things we consume everyday in our own households are made. During Art we’ve been enjoying exploring different types of lines that can be used to create artworks and also colours primary, secondary, warm and cool.  

Other exciting things that have been happening have included swimming lessons, Opening Mass, Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday which we’ve also loved learning all about.  

We look forward to continuing sharing our learning with you via SeeSaw and encourage you to reach out if you have any questions. Also a friendly reminder for Library and Homework folders to come in each Friday and we can change them over.  

Many thanks,  

Miss Backhouse and Miss Rachael.
