Prep Newsletter – Term 2 Week 8

Rosie’s Walk

We have been retelling stories and had a big focus on the story of Rosie’s walk. Students chose their favourite part of the story and wrote a sentence to match their picture. We then created our own Rosie’s walk using some of the things we found in the shed and students were very excited to use their positional language walking across the yard, around the pond and past the windmill, etc. 

In English, the students have been focusing this week on the letter’s ‘l’, ‘k’ and ‘u’ and reading these sounds in words. Next week we will be moving on to letter ‘b’. The students bank of letter sound is growing, and we are all excited to be moving on to different in class readers. 

In Religion, we are finishing up our learning about Love, Forgiveness and Compassion. We will be focusing on how we can do this at home and at school. Focusing on social stories of how we engage respectfully in play and how we share and take turns. 

In Technology, we made some beautiful wind chimes. These came home last week. The students worked very hard on designing and choosing materials for these. They then put this into practice and constructed their own windchimes.
