Around the School  

Maths in F/1:

Our Foundation and Year One students have started the year off in Maths by exploring patterns. We have been looking at two-part and three-part patterns, including how to create our own and continue a given pattern. What a great job our students have been doing! 

We've also been learning how we can be safe, respectful and responsible at school 

Here are some photos of our youngest students creating artworks of our school using water colours .

Indonesian News!

It has been wonderful to welcome our Foundation students and other new students to Bahasa Indonesia (The language of Indonesian)!

Foundation students have already shown great interest in the country of Indonesia and its language! We have been learning about how to greet one another and ask their name.

There are two greetings songs that you may like to sing along to at home. Please find the links below!

Foundation and Year One students will also be bringing home a special postcard from their Year 5 or 6 buddy, giving them some interesting insight into Indonesia!

Terima kasih! (Thank you!)
