In Prep we have had the good fortune to have a literacy expert, Ms Heidi Van Rijswijk, come to our class to encourage us in our writing. We have enjoyed exploring how we can write words to make a sentence and learning some of the basic conventions of written language.

We have also started to bring together our knowledge of living things by thinking about how animals live in different habitats. Our challenge is to make a diorama that includes everything that our chosen animal would need to survive. We are very busy talking to our partner about what we should include and making sure we have everything so our animal will survive.

In Kinder/Prep we read the story Hurry Up Franklin by Paulette Bourgeois. Then Miss Bron directed us in drawing our own turtle using simple shapes. We love seeing our finished work when Miss Bron shows us how to go about our artwork!
