Prep Fitz

A very special week for us at Eaglehawk North. Wednesday is a classroom open day when parents, family and friends are especially welcome to come and join in the classroom program. Friday is Preps sports day. Our letter sound focus for this week is the letter ‘g’ and our sign-in word for this week is ‘was’.

This week we welcome Miss Harkins to our classroom. Miss Harkins is a 3rd year student teacher from LaTrobe University and will be with us for the next 3 weeks. We also have our delivery of living eggs and are looking forward to our chicks hatching. Many students are making dinosaurs in box construction as part of our ‘Dd’ week celebration. Rain and Emalee brought their dogs in for show and tell and we were lucky to have a grade 6 student play the didjeridoo for us. Another very busy week of new experiences and learning.

The students are just finishing the robots they started last week as a “Rr” focus.

Another busy week ahead. We will have an Incursion on Wednesday. Our visitors are from the Responsible Pet Ownership program. Children will learn some safety pointers about approaching ‘unknown’ dogs.
Our Mother’s Day stall will be this Thursday.

The highlight of this week was the Prep family fun night held on Friday. It was a chance for the prep families to mix and get to know each other. Its was a fantastic night we were so pleased to see so many families. I hope you can now put a face to some of the names.

We had a wonderful day on the farm. Thank you to all the staff at Animal Land I hope you enjoy these pics.

This week we have been learning about the letter ‘Ee’ we have also been ’signing in’ everyday with the focus word ‘go’. We have had a small change to our timetable with the introduction of Reading Workshops. The students are organised into like ability groups and rotate through a range of literacy based activities. I have included some of the activities in this week’s picture gallery.

Our theme for this term is farm animals and Pets. We are all looking forward to our excursion next Monday to the children’s farm at Diggers Rest. We have a visit arranged from the Responsible Pet Ownership program and will also be hatching eggs in the classroom! Lots to look forward to.

A very busy week planned.

This week we will be learning all about the letter ‘Nn’ and focusing on the word ‘like’.
