Grayston Preparatory School

Our Grade 7s were at it again! Four of our learners had a wonderful opportunity to collaborate, learn, and have fun while putting their skills to the test at the Tour de Maths Competition held at Auckland Park Primary School.

They applied their mathematical thinking, problem-solving skills, and teamwork as they tackled a variety of engaging Maths challenges.

At Grayston Prep, we are proud of their enthusiasm, hard work, and dedication. Well done, Grade 7s!

Our Grade 7 learners put their waitering skills to the test at Tulsa Spur as part of their fundraising initiative! It was a valuable opportunity to serve others, develop teamwork skills, and gain insight into the hospitality industry.

Thank you to Tulsa Spur for hosting Grayston Prep and to everyone who supported our learners. We are proud of the enthusiasm and maturity our learners displayed throughout the evening!

Grayston Prep’s Top 6 Grade 6 learners embraced the challenge of the 24 Sum More Competition today with enthusiasm, determination, and quick thinking.
Congratulations to our two winners, Ethan Hart and Suhail Aniff, who have progressed to the semi-finals. We are incredibly proud of their achievement and wish them every success in the next stage of the competition!

What a wonderful week it has been in Grade R! Our days have been filled with exciting experiences, learning opportunities, and lots of fun. We enjoyed special visits from our beloved Care Bears, got creative with Eric Carle-inspired art activities, and practised our cutting skills as we strengthened our fine motor development. We explored letters through engaging activities, celebrated Pyjama Day, challenged ourselves with perceptual games, and let our imaginations run wild while dressing up in our fantasy corners. Every day brought new adventures, laughter, and opportunities to learn through play!

Helpfulness was the word of the day as Grades 00 and 000 worked together to offload new materials for their sensory area. The children eagerly helped to empty bags and sort stones, rocks, bark, sand, macadamia nut shells and soft bristle coir into different spaces. The coir has become a favourite spot to lie down, relax and watch the clouds drift by.

The children in Grade 000 have thoroughly enjoyed the “Shopping” theme. They have been actively engaged in various activities, including crafting salt dough doughnuts, creating wallets with coins for use in the classroom shop, designing tasty pizzas with variety toppings, and putting together their own shopping baskets.

The Grade Rs explored a fun and creative sensory activity by practising the skill of grating. They carefully grated pieces of chalk to turn it into a fine powder, which they then mixed to create their own colourful paint. Using the tar road as their canvas, the children worked together with their friends to design and create beautiful artworks, enjoying both the process and the opportunity to collaborate.
