What an incredible week we’ve had with our Preps!
We are so proud of how confidently they tackled swimming this week—so much independence, bravery, and enthusiasm in the pool!

🐊 Literacy

We explored the Indigenous text No Way Yirrikipayi! and discovered that Yirrikipayi means saltwater crocodile. The Preps absolutely loved creating their own snappy crocodile crafts to go with the story.
In InitiaLit, we kept strengthening our blending and reading skills by working with CVCC and CCVC words.
In Writing, students completed an independent writing prompt about what superpower they would love to have—and WOW, their imaginations blew us away!

✨ Ask at home:

• “What superpower did you choose for your writing, and why?”

• “Can you tell me what Yirrikipayi means?”

• “Can you read me a CVCC or CCVC word you remember from this week?”
  
  

💰 Maths

This week, we continued exploring Australian coins. We practised ordering coins by value and played the exciting ‘Guess My Coin’ game, where students used clues to describe a mystery coin. We also enjoyed coin rubbing and crafty fun.

✨ Ask at home:

• “Which coin is worth the most? The least?”

• “Can you describe a coin and see if I can guess it?”

🦕 Inquiry

Our dinosaur investigation has been a huge hit! This week we learned the difference between carnivores and herbivores, then sorted dinosaurs into the correct group. The Preps were fully engaged—dinosaur experts in the making!

✨ Ask at home:

• “Can you tell me what a carnivore eats? What about a herbivore?”

• “Which dinosaur did you learn about this week?”

💛 Wellbeing

In our Respectful Relationships lessons, we talked about clothing—how it protects our bodies and which parts must be covered to keep us safe. The children shared thoughtful ideas and showed great understanding.

✨ Ask at home:

• “Why do we wear clothes?”

• “What parts of our body do clothes help protect and keep private?”

Students are able to borrow one book from the Library each week. However, they can only do so if they bring their library bag. Please ensure you child remembers to bring their library bag to school on their allocated library day (shown below) to avoid disappointment. 

If your child has a specialist class in the afternoon, that teacher will take the students out to the basketball court for dismissal.  

Please note- Timetables change regularly for interruptions such as, NAPLAN, Camps, events etc. Teachers will update the website of any changes.
