Arriving Late

Unfortuantley Prep White has a number of chidren who are constantly arriving to school late.  Can you please try to have your child at school no later than 8.35am, as they are missing the beginning of each day and learning is occuring.  If you are late on occassions, can you please take your bag tag to the office to sign in.  Bag tags are to stay on your chidl's bag at all times. 

Thank you for your support.

Sight Words

We ask that you do not mark the children's sight word books.  We will mark the books each week.  Could you please ensure to continually go over all the popcorn words, even the ones that are marked as known, as children forget very quickly.  Thank you for your cooperation.




 Workshops
 Our big book this week was Smarty Pants.  Ask your child what happened to Mr Smarty Pants thumb? In reading and writing workshops we have explored the 'op' and 'in' word families and phonologically, we are learning to blend our letters to make new sounds.  We will have a strong focus on this skill for the remainder fo the year. The children will refer to this as using our Chunky Monkey, to help sound out (decode) and write words.  In Maths workshops we are learning about the number 3 and its name (three). Our investigation this week has been based on the story 'One is a Snail and Ten is a Crab'.  The children will investigate the language of addition and how small numbers can be used to make larger numbers.

Religion

This week we started to explore the Infancy Narraitve from the Gospel of Matthew.  We have spent time looking at the key characters and events.  We will make a christmas card to show our learning from the Gospel of Matthew.

Unit Work

This week we have started our Science Unit called 'Who Sank the Boat?'  The children investiagted how and why different objects sink and float.  In small groups they created their boats and investigated if they sank or float.

Our Value this week is resilence.
