We have been doing lots of exciting things in Prep this term.  From a discussion we had in class about ways we communicate, a lot of us became fascinated with maps.  We talked about directions and how to describe where something is located and then had a go at creating a map from the classroom to our favourite place at school.  We also created a treasure map from our classroom to the wetlands.  One person suggested we put our treasure maps into a bottle and throw them into the ocean for pirates to find.  Some of us thought that might be littering, so after having another discussion we decided our maps would stay in the classroom and we are now talking about ways we can care for places. 

Earlier in the term we watched a performance called ‘The Egg’.  We all really enjoyed watching the puppets in the show and wanted to make our own.  We began by writing our own stories and then made a puppet of at least one of our characters.  We performed our own puppet show based on our stories in front of our class.

Last week we held a breakfast for special men in our lives and wrote about our Dads.
