Pre-Kindergarten
Welcome back to Spring Term! It has been wonderful to see the children settle back into the routines of Pre-Kindergarten so well. We are very fortunate to have Lexi and Max join our class this term and we welcome them and their families.

The children have already been busy learning new skills such as cutting and the beginning of name writing. The children were very excited to have a go at writing their names and we have been doing this in a number of ways, including using magnetic letters, tracing their names on laminated sheets and also practising their names on the iPads. There is no expectation that the children will be able to write their name independently by the end of the year, although we are working on name recognition as well as developing fine motor skills in preparation for writing.
I look forward to a fantastic term shared with you all.

Welcome back to Spring Term. It is great to see all of the students and parents smiling and welcoming faces.
This term we have continued our learning in Geography through the introduction of iTunesU courses as a learning tool. The students are using the tool to engage in discussions about their learning, identify something positive about their peers' learning and offer suggestions for them to think about. The more discussions they are engaging in, the deeper and more reflective their learning is becoming. It is amazing to see the independence developing in the students.
Our topic for Big Ideas this term is 'Guess Who’s Coming to Visit!’ Without giving too much away, this topic integrates the learning areas of Technology and Enterprise, Health and English. The students will be developing the skills of investigation and persuasion throughout the term.
Our focus in Mathematics is the application of mental strategies through word problems. We discuss the vocabulary used to solve the problem, check that we have completed everything as the problem asked and explain how we solved the problem. The students are also looking at the relationship between multiplication and division.
