We started the day by having a fashion parade in our small learning communities so that we had a chance to explain our costumes and what we had brought along to count or share. We were very impressed with the creativity and effort that families put in.
Due to the wild, wet weather, we were unable to go onto the oval with Triciclo to form the number 100 with our bodies, so we attempted to do so just in Bicicletta. The Preps were quick to sort themselves out without teacher interference – the challenge lay in photographing it!
We then used our 100 items that we had brought to school, or other classroom resources, to work like mathematicians and artists by creating compositions. Some children were up to the challenge of making their compositions using equal sized groups. We would like to return to these compositions and equal sized groups at a later date.
After recess we played some party games, like Musical Statues, before we had specialist classes.
At 1:15 we quickly ate any healthy food that may have been packed in lunch boxes before we cranked up Peter Combe and ate an amazing array of food that was generously prepared by parents. We ate it inside as, due once again to the weather, we were unable to have a picnic on the oval with Triciclo. The wind, sugar and being confined inside due to ‘wet day’ lunchtime created a pretty crazy party scene!
It was a memorable day and we look forward to seeing how many more days there are in Prep as we continue to count.
