Prep/1- Lisa Sargent

There is always lots of exciting learning happening in Mrs. Sargent’s Prep/1 room!

Our students have been working hard to settle into school and are becoming more confident every day. We are learning classroom routines, making new friends, and discovering how to be kind, respectful, and responsible learners. Our classroom is a calm and supportive place where everyone feels safe and ready to learn.

In Literacy, students are exploring letters, sounds, words, and sentences through fun games, activities, and shared learning experiences. We love listening to stories and sharing our ideas with each other.

During Reading sessions, students are building their confidence as readers by learning new sounds, recognising words, and enjoying a variety of books.

Handwriting lessons help us develop neat letter formation and correct pencil grip. We are proud of the effort we put into making our writing our very best.

In Mathematics, students are learning about numbers, counting, patterns, shapes, and problem-solving through hands-on activities and games that make learning fun.

We are so proud of the wonderful start our Prep/1 students have made. Every day brings new learning, new discoveries, and lots of reasons to smile!​
