Fruit Group Fun in Prep

You are here

In Prep the students are split up into three groups at the beginning of the year.

The group names are the bananas, the apricots and the pears. Each group has students from both prep classes attending on that day. These groups are a great way for students to mix and get to know their peers and teachers from the Prep class next door.

During fruit groups students engage in a wide range of activities. These include gardening, cooking, Christian studies, History, Geography, Health and Science. This fortnight the students have been in the kitchen making frogs in a pond with jelly and a frog lolly. In Christian studies the students have learnt from the bible the story of Joseph and his coat of many colours. They created their own Joseph coat using a paper bag and fabric. The students have been learning about having a growth mindset and discussing healthy foods during their health lesson.
