Term 3 began with a warm welcome to our two new classmates, William and Adalee. Our Preps have enjoyed showing them our classroom routines and living out The Heart Way.

If you visit our room first thing in the morning, you’ll find 15 focused Prep students busily writing information reports about Australian animals. So far, we’ve explored the koala, emu, kangaroo, and wombat—discovering fascinating facts and learning how to write about them in our own words. Each student is creating a “big book,” and as part of our Book Week celebrations, we’ll be inviting parents and friends into the classroom to share our work.

In Maths, we’ve been investigating data. The children have loved collecting information on a variety of topics, asking questions like “Do you like butterflies?” and “Do you like ice cream?” before tallying and comparing responses to find out which is most popular.

It’s hard to believe we’re already halfway through the term, but our Preps are making the most of every learning opportunity—and having plenty of fun along the way!
