Primary Community News

Foundation (Prep-Year 2)

Prep/1 have been having an amazing term! 

We have been learning all about ourselves. Prep/1 A has been learning to make friends, take turns, and play! Prep/1 A has been learning to be sun smart and always wear our hats. We have been learning about all the things we can see in our focus text, ‘Prep 1/A, Prep/1 A, What Do You See?’. We have been learning how fun writing can be. We have been learning to count, and all the ways we can play with counting. Prep/1 A is having so much fun at school!

Lower Primary (Years 3-4)

In the 3/4 team we have been learning to count backward from a range of starting points and using number lines to help us. We created our very own number lines outside with chalk where we had to write all the numbers down on our number line to help us count backward. We had a lot of fun making our own number lines.

Upper Primary (Years 4-6)

This week the 4-6 classes have started their intensive swimming program. During classroom learning activities, we have focused on being safe and responsible on the bus and in the community. Students will learn many skills in the water during this time, such as floating, blowing bubbles, kicking, and some may even practice different strokes. We will also encourage independence during this program and hope to see students develop other skills such as dressing, looking after their own belongings, and packing their swimming bags. All Students have already thoroughly enjoyed going swimming and are so happy and excited to continue next week.
