Prep White have enjoyed learning through play and exploration all about the letter “C” this week.
Our play café was busy every morning with the children taking and filling orders. We have had our car tracks out, practiced our counting, colouring-in and cutting, as well as cooking delicious cheese scrolls.
In maths we learned about 3D shapes and sculpted our own cubes and cones out of playdough. We also decorated caterpillars using colour patterns. In CAPA we made a Cookie Monster “C.” We have even learnt a new dance called “There was a crocodile”
In Literacy we are learning about the wonderful books written and illustrated by Eric Carle. We have read about a very hungry caterpillar, a busy spider, a grouchy lady bug and a tiny seed.
In science this week, students have shown that they understand how to take care of living things by building shelters for their play animals and providing them with their needs such as water and food.
We also have our own library set up in our “Spotty Space” which is very popular during free time. The children have fun role-playing librarians and borrowing books to read in our comfy reading nook or on the cosy bean bags.
What a cool week of learning it has been!
