Prep-1 Learning News

In Prep-1 we always try to include the outdoors into our learning.

Whether it is doing the routine maintenance jobs in the playground, planting or using the produce from our garden bed, utilising our learning block on Thursday mornings by working outside or gathering things from the playground to help bring the outdoors in.

During Term 3 some children worked with Charna our Aboriginal Educational Worker to learn weaving techniques using coloured strips of paper. In our outdoor learning time, we then used a loom in the top garden and gathered resources like bark, leaves and sticks to practise the skill and see which things worked best for weaving.

Building on our learning we have now created our own individual looms using Y sticks and wool to make a loom web. We practised tying knots, wrapping and zig zagging the wool across our sticks. We plan to continue to work on our weaving skills to create a colourful piece of woven art.

Stay tuned for an update on our completed work soon!
