Whats Happening in Prep B
It has been a fun filled term in Prep B. We have been learning lots of new concepts and have demonstrated resilience and persistence even when we find things a little tricky.
In English this term we have been reading various fairytale stories. Students have put their knowledge of letter sounds to demonstrate beginning writing behaviours to retell the story. Miss Ellis has been so impressed to see student's confidence and writing improve each and every day.
In Maths we have been focusing on counting to 20. With this knowledge we have been able to understand the concepts of addition and subtraction. Prep B are very excited to now start making their own addition and subtraction stories this week.
In Science we have been exploring materials and their properties. Students were able to demonstrate their knowledge to build a successful raft for the gingerbread man to cross the river. Students had lots of fun using various craft materials to each make their own individual rafts. Students were able to reflect on whether their raft was successful or not, describing the materials and their properties.
