Yesterday the 4 year old kinder kids from St Helena Preschool came over to visit the preps. We started with the story of ‘The Three Billy Goats Gruff’. Then the preps worked with the kinder kids to colour, cut and stick icypole sticks to make puppets. We then listened to the story on the smartboard and acted it out using our puppets.
The children then sat together, had a chat and got to know eachother and then ate their brainfood.
We then sang some songs and did some really cool dance moves!
The kinder kids had a play on the prep playground before heading back to their kinder.

Next Thursday 7th August the second 4 year old group will be coming over for a visit.

Here is the story of ‘The Three Billy Goats Gruff’.

Today the preps celebrated being at primary school for 100 days! Each child made an ‘I am 100 days smarter’ hat with 10 strips on coloured paper which they then added 10 objects onto each strip so that in total they had 100 items.
In class we also counted to 100 by 10’s and ones and made groups of 10 objects.
In the afternoon, the children all brought along a plate of food to share with their classmates.
As part of our celebrartions the children had ‘Homework’ where they were provided with a zip lock bag and had to fill it with 100 of ‘something.’ You can see by these photos that the preps (and their parents) were very creative with items including rice grains, cereal, balloons, paperclips, sultanas and much more. The children discussed how different each zip lock bag looked even when there was the same amount in each.

To end our celebrations the preps were presented with a certificate.
We had soooo much fun and are looking forward to our next 100 days!
