Student Learning

Class News from Year 1/2 

What a busy start we have had to the start of term 2. Students have jumped into musical practice as well as various learning activities in class.

In Week 5 we celebrated National Reconciliation Week. This tied in well with National Sorry Day on the 26th of May 2024. Students watched a video that explained the changes that have come into the constitution and why we celebrate National Sorry Day. 

In English, Students have been exploring informative writing and reports. They have been hard at work researching animals and looking at key points such as the classification of the animal, its habitat and diet and its size and appearance. This has also been a great experience for our students to come alongside each other and help during class activities.

In our Christian education lessons, students have been learning about how God has chosen specific people in the Bible to lead people away from sin and evil and follow God's Way. So far, we have looked at Moses, Isaac and Samuel.

In Health this term, the Year 1 students have been looking at what a healthy lifestyle is all about. We have explored the ‘Australian healthy eating guide’ as well as creating a ‘healthy eating rainbow’. In week 5 the Year 1 students discussed the importance of sleep and rest, not only for our daily functioning but also its importance on our immune system and keeping bugs away. They got to have a relaxing end to the day and snuggled up with their oodies, blankets and comfort toys.
