Year One News

Early this week, the Year One students read the story The Most Magnificent Thing by Ashley Spires. We talked about ways we are being resilient during COVID. Reflecting on these past few months and looking over the list, the Year One teachers are in awe of our students and how well they have adapted to change and how they have looked at the positive side of life. Keep up the awesome attitudes and mindset, everyone! Now, have a look at the list that we came up with. 

Ways we have shown resilience

• learning online
• using new technology
• doing work by themselves
• not seeing friends in person
• using Meet, Facebook messenger and Zoom to see family and friends
• celebrating birthdays at home
• social distancing and not hugging their friends and loved ones
• being flexible and not going on the playground during Stage 4
• sanitise our hands
• wear a mask
• have a playdate on the playground
• following Stage 4 restrictions and only leaving the house for reasons
