Year 1 News

Dear Families,

Term 2 has been filled with exciting learning and memorable moments!

In Week 3, students eagerly visited the Mother’s Day Stall to choose a special gift. A highlight was our excursion to Manor Lakes Library in Week 4. Students enjoyed exploring the children’s section and learning how libraries work. We also had school photos — everyone looked fantastic and proudly showed their best smiles! In Week 5, we all participated in the National Simultaneous Storytime on Wednesday 21st, joining thousands of students across Australia to enjoy a special story together!

It’s been wonderful to see students’ friendships and independence growing. We’re excited to continue our Inquiry learning and build strong learning habits.
