English – Retelling experiences
Last week our Prep learners enjoyed a teddy bear’s picnic to support our ‘speaking and listening’ focus in English. The children had a wonderful time with their cuddly friends! This experience is the basis of their next ‘re-tell’ where they will outline who was there, what happened and how they felt. We are so proud of how our learners have progressed in doing this, now including more detail and logically sequencing events. Here are some photos of Prep I and Prep F during their teddy bear’s picnic.
Arts Fest Excitement
This week we have been so excited about our Wandani Arts Fest. We visited the art gallery with our buddy classes and were amazed at the pieces on show. We enjoyed looking at art from Prep to Grade 6 and even from our Lady Gowrie Kindy friends! We look forward to seeing you on Thursday, you’re in for a treat!
Term 4 Swimming
We are now in our final planning stages for swimming. Please ensure permission and payment is received no later than Wednesday 17 September. Students not participating will join another Prep class while their class is at the pool. Students without permission and payment by Wednesday 17 September will not be able to attend swimming in Term 4. If you have any questions, please reach out to your class teacher.
