Year 1 - Newsletter

Year 1 - Term 3, week 3 and 4

It’s been a big fortnight in Year 1. From applying real life contexts in our maths, to learning about different sports and some countries around the world, the Olympic Games has been an engaging vehicle for our learning this past fortnight. 

In other news, it was great to see our students push through the icy morning to enjoy our annual school Walkathon, and then to see so many come dressed in pyjamas for Pyjama Day yesterday, raising money for The Smith Family charity.
