The last fortnight in Prep/1 we have enjoyed having Eva in our room. Eva is a Uni student on placement with us. She has been taking on daily routines and taking whole class lessons in maths. We have been finishing off looking at part-part-whole relationships and how we can record these as number sentences. Recording number sentences is something we are really good at!

In English we have been consolidating our UFLI lessons and looking at creating texts in response to a book. Currently in Prep this is looking like drawing in sequence the parts of a story to retell it and adding labels or phrases to support our sharing of information. Some of us are even able to add on sentences to explain each part! In Grade 1 this looks like us answering questions about the elements of the story such as who the characters are, what the problem was and how was it solved. We are doing so by writing complete sentences and working really hard to recheck our own writing to make sure we have all the words we need in the sentence.

In general the whole class have settled well into our new timetable, the new morning block in particular is useful and we are adjusting our eating patterns to suit the new timetable.
