1A

By Clare Marotta 

It has been a busy and fun start to the year in 1A.  This term the students are exploring the inquiry question, ‘How do our strengths influence others’. They have been investigating different types of strengths with a focus on character strengths. The learners recently identified their personal top 3-character strengths and have discussed what different strengths are within 1A. 

 

The learners have started their swimming program with many eager to get into the pool and practice their water skills, while those back at school have been learning about where we find water and how to be safe around water.

 

Farhan- ‘My teacher showed me how to swim backwards.’
 
Aria- ‘I got to do a swimming race with the others.’
 
Senoli- ‘I learnt all about how to be safe around water, like where to swim and what to do around water to be safe.’ 
 
Oliver- ‘My strength is bravery because I do lots of things by myself and always try new things.’
 
Tarini- ‘One of my strengths is creativity, because I am always creating new things and have new ideas.’
