From Waiben Prep, Mrs. Alex Peacocke

What a whirlwind of wonderful opportunities and warm memories for our Preps! We have competed in our first sports day – running, jumping and throwing – as well as learning how to be a good sport and good team mate.
We have experienced the joy of Under 8s day in the park – being part of the kind and welcoming community that this island offers to all that live here. We have taken amazing strides in our reading and writing – we now know all our letters and sounds and this term proudly wrote our own information books on Australian animals. We have taken huge steps forwards in our maths thinking, learning new strategies for adding up and taking away numbers and gaining confidence in counting to 20 and beyond.
Our flower garden has brought joy to the whole school, and regularly delivers fresh flowers to Ms Tomisina in the office and tomatoes to Ms Chi in the tuckshop. Our ice-cream stall in the classroom has seen hours of imaginative play. We finished the term with a celebration of all we have learnt – an alphabet letter parade – cheered on by the rest of the school community. See you all in Term 4!
