And just like that, we have completed the first semester of Prep!


Over the past week, our Little Learners have been excited to learn about the letters and sounds of L and U. Students practiced identifying, writing, and sounding out these letters through fun activities, stories, and songs. It’s been wonderful to watch their confidence grow as they become more familiar with the building blocks of reading and writing.


In Math this week, we introduced the new focus text One is a Snail, Ten is a Crab, which helped our Little Learners explore the concept of addition. This creative and engaging story has been a fantastic way to introduce early addition in a meaningful context.


Looking Ahead to Week 10, we will continue building on our understanding of addition by creating and solving our own addition sums. In Literacy, Prep will be introduced to the letters and sounds of B and J, as well as the new ‘Tricky Words’; look, one, his, and here.


We’re also excited to share that in Term 3, we will begin Literacy Rotations—a daily, structured time that supports targeted reading and writing practice. During these sessions, we would greatly appreciate the support of parent helpers. If you are available to assist from 9-9:30am, please let me know. Your involvement can make a big difference in supporting student learning.


Thank you for your continued support as we wrap up a wonderful first term. We are so proud of all that Little Learners have achieved so far and can’t wait to see what the rest of the year brings!
