Welcome to Prep B’s 5th Blog

We were very lucky to have a visitor from the Catholic Education Office visit our grade to read a story titled ‘Owl Babies’.

There were three readings of the story. The children were totally engaged in the experience.

The children and I have been learning to discuss the text in detail; explore character’s feelings, make connections to the text and develop our vocabulary to include more complex words e.g. frightened, anxious, brave and relieved.

 

 One of the follow up activities was to make owl baby stick puppets. The children in small groups  made up their own puppet show. The shows were performed to the class and filmed.

We would have loved to share the puppet plays, but unfortunately the videos have been unable to be uploaded to the blog.

The children in Prep B would love to learn information about owls. If you can help us please post a comment.

Bye till next time.

 

 

Welcome to Prep B’s 4^th Blog

 

We would like to share our learning about our current maths topic 'Chance'.

 

Here are some of our chance statements from our discussions.

‘You have a chance of winning a running race.’

‘It could rain today.’

‘I could win a game.’

‘Something could be closed e.g. a water slide due to bad weather.’

The students worked in pairs to draw pictures of events that will happen, won’t happen and might happen.

 

 

 Can you give Prep B some good examples of   chance events? We would love to learn more

about this topic.

Bye till next time.
