Sequencing Stories
The Prep children have been retelling experiences as part of their English Unit. They have been learning how to logically sequence events and use time connectives such as First, Next and Last. As part of this, they participated in a Rosie’s Walk and Bear Hunt outdoor learning obstacle course where they were able to have their own sensory and role play experiences. It has been a fantastic and fun opportunity for the children to assist with their re-telling skills.
