Prep was very excited to have another week of AFL last week and had great fun with Mr Matt and Miss Shelby. Students practiced kicking balls, how to hold an AFL ball and played lots of great games. It was fantastic to see resilience and team spirit as students cheered each other on and were happy for others to win. Check out the Cape York Weekly for a picture of all the Preps at last weeks AFL session!

In English, the students have been focusing this week on the letter ‘o’ and reading this sound in words. Next week we will be focusing on the sound /k/ and linking that sound to the letter ‘c’. Students are very excited to be getting to read this term with the introduction of readers to their homework folders and in class rotations. Our genre focus is sequencing stories that we have been learning about, this weeks story was the ‘Three Little Pigs’.
