Prep GM Blog Learning together at St Richard's Primary School 

Today we enjoyed doing art with our buddies. We made one art piece to signify the sadness we feel on Good Friday when Jesus dies on the cross. Our next piece of art signifies the joy that we feel on Easter Sunday when Jesus rises.  

Well done to all the Preps on a fabulous Palm Sunday Assembly.

Happy Birthday to Charli and friends.  Mila also had her birthday, we will catch up with you next term.

What a fantastic day it was on Thursday.  Congratulations to all involved.

Today I had the pleasure of reading “The Gruffalo” to the Prep/Foundation students.  They say there is no such thing as a Gruffalo but there were a few found today 🙂

Thanks Preps for being amazing and listening so well to the story!

We have been fortunate to receive a grant for Term One from Sporting Schools.

Sporting Schools is a $160 million Australian Government initiative to get children committed to a lifelong love of sport.  It is important that we expose the students  to a variety of sports so hopefully they  find one that they would consider outside of school and continue to enjoy into adulthood.

The sport chosen for this term is Hockey and we have had Hockey Victoria this week teach all the students at St.Richards the basic skills of dribbling and passing in games and challenges.   Should your child wish to pursue Hockey the closest club is Croydon Ranges.

A big thank you to all the students for following our school expectations during these sessions. Well done.

What a great day.  Congratulation to all the Junior classes for reaching our target.  The day started with a visit from Carol, Eva and Morgan from the Responsible Pet Ownership Program.  We learnt how to approach a friendly dog, and what to do if we meet a dog that is not friendly.  We met Morgan the Great Dane.  He was bigger than most of the Preps.

We had a maths session in the hall.  We graphed our pets and ordered them by size.

At lunchtime we could have animal sandwiches.  Kaitlyn had dolphins.

What a busy week.  Here are some highlights.

Congratulations Indiana.  Indiana made it to the end of the rainbow to collect her pot of gold.

Thank you Mr. Gill for our new take home book bags.

Mr. Gill shared one of his hidden talents with the Preps.  Most impressive!

We love going to the library.  Mrs. Earle does an amazing job to make it a special place to visit.  This term we are reading books by Nick Bland.  Today we read ‘Twinkle’.
