100 Days at School

Today we celebrated 100 days at school.  The time has gone so fast.  We were so excited to celebrate today.  We had a special party and ate lots of yummy food.  We had 100 written around the room.  We had to bring 100 things to school and then we counted them.  It was quicker to count them by 10s then by 1s.



 

Literacy and Numeracy Week

We had so much fun during Literacy and Numeracy Week.  There was lots of different things on to celebrate.  We got to dress up as Counts and Countesses.  We made crowns with our buddies and Miss Hull gave us capes.  We got to do all the counting for the day.  We used a calculator, hundreds chart, counters, clock and even an abacus (we didn't know it was called this!).  We did wonderful counting and Miss Hull was proud of us.

Reading Challenge

PREP H HAS FINISHED THE READING CHALLENGE!!!!!!!!!

We all got a bookmark to celebrate reading 30 books.  Thanks to all the parents who logged books on.

Cuddle Up and Read Day/Games Afternoon

What a great day we had last Thursday.  We were celebrating Literacy and Numeracy Week at school with lots of fun activities.  We all wore red to show that we were well read and we looked great.  We got time in the morning to cuddle up and read with a special teddy and book that we had bought from home.  We were able to share our books with our friends.  We then had a special games afternoon where we shared our favourite games from home.  There were lots of different games and we practised sharing, taking turns, problem solving, counting and following the rules.  We had a great day.

Number Lines

Miss Hull set us a Maths challenge! She gave each of us a number and then we had to get in order without talking.  We thought it was really easy.  She tried to make it harder by making the numbers bigger and leaving some numbers out but we still worked it out. It was lots of fun!

Responsible Pet Program

We had the Responsible Pet Program.  A lady spoke to us about how to take care of animals.  We learnt what a happy dog and an angry dog look like.  Some people got to touch the big dog.  You have to first ask the owner if you can pat it.

Welcome Back to Term 3

Wow one week down already!!! This term is going to be very busy in Prep H.  We have lots of exciting learning to do and lots of special events.

We have been learning about:
* Odd and even numbers.
* The number 12 and 13.
* Chunking sounds together.
* Before and after when working with numbers.
* Making predictions when reading.

We have a number of children going on holidays this term which is very exciting.  Please remember to write a note with the dates your child will be away and put it in the plastic pocket.

We are running very low on tissues so would love some extra boxes to survive the cold weather.
