Foundation- Grade 1: Mrs Tyler

In F/1 we have been preparing for the end of the year and reflecting on our favourite things from the term. We have enjoyed swimming week, Kaboom Sports, science experiments and lots of learning. With some exciting days still to come!

Grade 2: Miss Wooden

As we approach the end of the school year, it's time to reflect on the incredible journey we've taken together in Grade 2! This year has been filled with exploration, creativity, and numerous discoveries, making our classroom a vibrant place for learning.

Throughout the Term, we delved into various subjects, with science being a standout highlight. From our exciting experiments mixing solids and liquids to exploring the properties of materials and motion, the students have shown incredible curiosity and enthusiasm. One of our most memorable moments was reading 'George's Marvellous Medicine.' The imagination sparked by George's adventures allowed students to express their creativity through fun advertisements for his magical potion. In Mathematics, students came together to collect, analyse, and present their findings through engaging graphs. And of course, the Grade 2 sleepover was fantastic fun!

These are the students' favourite moments of the year:

Heidi: Learning everything together with Miss Wooden.

Buddy: Having Mrs Whipp come and teach.

Indy: Spelling lessons have been my favourite.

Alex: I love having free time.

Kynan: Has enjoyed helping others.

Lottie: Learning new things with Miss Wooden all year.

Madi: Learning with Mon.

Harlow: Getting to see everyone in Grade 2 and Miss Wooden.

Will: I like the rainy days.

Noah: The Grade 2 sleepover.

Matilda: I like school sports days.

Samuel: I liked Mirs Whipp teaching us.

Tom: I like sports days and having brain breaks.

Angus: I have liked making new friends.

Thank you for your unwavering support and involvement throughout the year. It has been a pleasure teaching your children, and I'm proud of all their accomplishments.

What a fantastic year we have had!

It’s been such a joy watching the students grow, learn, and shine in so many different ways. They should all feel incredibly proud of their achievements this year. They’ve worked hard and shown wonderful resilience, curiosity and teamwork.

I’m thrilled to be teaching them again next year, alongside some of our Grade 5s, and I can’t wait to see what new adventures and learning opportunities await us. It was lovely to have all the students together on Tuesday for the Statewide Orientation Day.
