Unit of Inquiry

The Preps are inquiring into How the world works with the central idea being ‘The way objects move depends on a variety of factors, including size and shape.’

The students have been learning about what science is and what a scientist might look like. They are very excited to become scientists themselves and have already started asking questions and exploring the central idea.

Literacy: The Prep Journey

|

Language is at the heart of all learning and is central to the lifelong development of our students’ full potential. Our Prep students develop into confident and informed communicators as they think, listen, talk, read and write their way to important new understandings. In the process they are building positive relationships with others and with the world around them. A wide variety of communication mediums are used, ranging from traditional materials, such as reading picture story books and writing with pencils on paper, to working with the latest information and communication technologies. Teachers plan learning experiences that enable our Prep students to develop essential literacy skills and concepts in meaningful and enjoyable contexts, using an inquiry approach to learning.
