Prep News
Welcome to week 4 of Term 3!
In English the Prep students are working towards creating their own narrative. They have been learning about characters, setting, a problem and how to solve the problem in their story. The students are in progress to retell their stories to their peers before we begin drafting their narratives. The students in the class have been interested in sharks and we have been looking at factual information and how it is different from fictional stories.
The story for this week is the Chicken hatched a Cow by Adam Bestwick. It is a funny story where students have to use the predicting strategy to solve the mystery of which animal is in chicken’s egg.
These are some of the tricky words that we have been learning in class:
| the | me | them | have |
| a | were | her | tall |
| my | she | one | with |
| is | are | has | call |
| I | be | there | so |
| to | said | ball | this |
| was | we | of | no |
| you | they | here | then |
| he | look | little | go |
| that | his | all |
In Maths the students are learning about positional language and provided simple directions for locations around the school. This also ties in with our science unit which is based on movement.
The students really enjoyed learning about NAIDOC with Ms Lillian and Ms Tari. They have been teaching us how to use coconut leaves to make balls and whips.
Have a wonderful week.
Kind Regards
