What's happening in Level One?

** Chesterfield Farm Excursion **
The Preps (and teachers!) all had a wonderful time at Chesterfield Farm milking a cow, watching animal shows, feeding the animals and holding the baby animals in the nursery.



** Fire education - Session #2! **
We were lucky to have a second visit from the MFB! We saw the firetruck and all had a turn at squirting the fire hose. They sounded the siren as they drove off in the fire truck, it was very loud!

** 2013 Parent Information Evening **
To access our Prezi from the 2013 information evening just head to this address: http://prezi.com/jajyma4jinn3/learning-teaching-in-level-one/?auth_key=9d1e2b1c4970f84564170307285f9b6d622c5309

** Fire education **
Two weeks ago, we had some Firefighters come and speak to us about fire safety. We learnt to "Stop, drop, cover and roll" and "Get down low and go, go go!" This week they are back and we get to look at the fire truck!



** Responsible Pet Ownership: **
During our Responsible Pet Ownership Incursion we learnt how to be safe around dogs. The friendly Rottweiler, Koda, was there to help us!



** The Gingerbread Man: ** We decorated Gingerbread Men whilst learning about the story of The Gingerbread Man! I hope they don't run away...



** Legoland Excursion: **
The Preps had a fantastic time on their excursion to the Lego Education Centre...



** 100 days in Prep! ** Today the Preps celebrated their 100th day in Prep. They dressed up as things that start with the letter "p" for Prep and counted 100 things! Can you guess what the teachers dressed up as?

** German Visit: ** This week the Prep students had a visit from the Grade Fives (Klasse Fünf) who showed us some of the "Learning German" videos on their iPads. The students all created their own 'learning about German' videos and then showcased their videos to all of the Prep Students. There were animations, videos learning about colours, numbers and the alphabet. Thanks Klasse Fünf, or maybe that should be Dankeschön!
