Level 1: Connect

Dear Level 1 Parents and Families

Well, it's hard to believe, but here we are at the end of Term 1 already. The term has certainly flown!

It's been a great 10 weeks worth of learning. We have loved seeing the Level 1 students thrive, challenge themselves and enjoy their learning.

Thank you all for your support with your child's learning at home and at school. It has been very much appreciated!

We look forward to continuing the adventure next term.

We hope you have a safe and relaxing holiday and Easter break. Please note that we are not issuing formal homework over the holidays but please keep up the amazing home reading and learning.

Term 2 Reminders:

Inquiry Focus: Knowing Me

This week during Inquiry, Year 1 students have been developing valuable strategies to regulate their emotions and return to the Green Zone—a state of calmness, focus, and readiness to learn. They explored techniques such as walking away and counting to ten, practising belly breathing, engaging in physical exercise, and participating in calming activities like drawing. Through hands-on practice, students reflected on how these strategies influenced their emotions and identified which techniques worked best for them. These essential skills will help students manage their feelings more effectively, fostering a positive and supportive learning environment.
