EASTER CRAFTS

We just love all sorts of arts and crafts in Prep C.  We made Easter Bunnies this time and they are all so different and special even though we followed step by step instructions. 

DIGGING FOR TREASURE

We had fun this morning digging for 'treausre' in frozen bicarb, glitter and water blocks. We added vinegar to the iceblocks and used a spoon to dig for the hidden gems inside. We listened carefully and heard little fizzing noises as the ice blocks melted slowly. We had so much fun and we even got to keep our treasure! Afterwards we wrote stories about digging for treasure and shared them with the class.

FIRST DAY OF PREP HATS

We made special, fancy hats to celebrate our first day of Prep. We showed Miss Mac how we cut and paste. Here we are wearing them on our way out of our classroom to greet our parents on the F.F.G.

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

It was an exciting first day of school for the new Preps at Kerrimuir. We played lots of games to get to know one another, we did some counting, some art and craft, read some stories and settled into our new school.

OUR CLASSROOM

Welcome to Prep C. We thought we better give you all a tour of our classroom. We have a special book corner, a place for our take home readers, a place for our drink bottles and even dots so that we know where to sit. We have 5 computers and even some Ipads that we share with the other junior grades. We know what we need to do in the morning and we unpack our bags all by ourselves. We change our readers and get ready for the day ahead. Prep C do the calendar each morning counting the number of days at school, the weather, the days of the week and then we start our morning off with some songs. Songs about all sorts of things really- counting, shapes, telling the time, months and seasons and even some nursery rhymes and counting songs like 5 little ducks and 10 green bottles. We love to sing together and it is such a fun way to learn. We do reading, writing, maths and sound work each day, as well as arts and craft, fine motor fun and science. Here is a little look at our classroom.
