Prep

Welcome to Prep at Deception bay State School. Our classroom is a hive of activity where the children learn through play, investigation and exploration.
We are part of the main school and participate fully in all areas of school life. Our prep children attend specialist lessons with the music and Phys Ed specialist teachers.

The children have a programme indoors and outdoors within the course of the day.
During the morning session the children participate in group work, circulating through a variety of activities, each having a specific learning base.

After the first break the children select their tasks from the activities provided within the room. This session is then followed by a group music and language session which caters for the needs of the group as a whole.

After the next break we discuss the day’s activities and play a closing game such as musical statues prior to going home.

The class has a qualified Early Childhood Teacher and a teacher aide for the important learning times during the day. Within in our room we have a bank of computers and also access the main school lab for specific lessons.

Each term the children participate in an investigation topic. First term was titled ‘Me myself and I’ and the second term will be ‘Beasts in the Bay’s Backyard’.
In this unit we will be looking at what spiders and bugs we have I our school yard.
