Sunshine and planting seeds

 

Today was such a wonderful day for foundation students! We went to the library, did some maths and did some VIP writing and reading. The sun was shining and so we thought it would a wonderful time to head outside and plant some tiny seeds for our garden. First, we watched a video on how to plant seeds and a time lapse of a growing plant (the students were amazed!) We planted 25 different types of vegetables, herbs and flowers in little cardboard pots. We will re-plant these after the school holidays and then put them into one of our school’s garden beds. Hopefully late next term we have some veggies to eat from our very own prep garden!

 

Have a wonderful and safe break these school holiday foundation families. Thank you for all of your hard work and support this term. See you in term 4 for more learning and fun!

 

Week 9

Wow, things have been so busy in Prep land these past few weeks! Today, Prep C completed a mindfulness session about decision making. They discussed how sometimes making a choice can be difficult. We listened to the mindfulness activity below from Smiling Mind and discussed times we felt we had a difficult choice to make. Students then drew pictures to show these decisions. You can create an account on the smiling mind app to use at home!

Check out some photos of Prep B learning about measurement in Maths a few weeks ago!

Prep B also did some writing for their amazing teacher, Alice! Look how far their writing has come since the start of the year. Full sentences, full stops and capital letters- wow!
