Prep tea cup gardens

On Wednesday our senior students and Mrs Tully’s green team helped us fill our tea cup gardens with potting mix. We are now ready to plant. If you have any vegetable seedlings or plants that grow well in our current climate please bring in to school and help us plant. Prep are all very excited about caring for our new garden beds. Beau has been selected as the class ‘Gardener’ this term which is his job to water our plants each morning on arrival to school. Everyone in Prep has a new responsibility to help in our classroom which I will post up soon.

New SSP app

For everyone who uses an iPad – this is a must! Miss Emma has released an SSP app and the best part is it’s free to load. Go to the App Store and search for SSP spelling piano. We are using it in class on our school iPads and I am very impressed by how user friendly yet perfect for reading and spelling practise. I recommend this to all our Prep parents.

Sound Table

You will find a new table in the classroom on Monday – if you have any items that contain the sounds of the week please bring in to place on the sound table. This week we are learning qu, sh, th, ch, ng, au, ee and oa. For example you could place a b/r/u/sh on the table as brush contains the “sh” sound.
