Foundation

Hello Families,

The Foundation students have been busy applying their solid phonics knowledge to sentence writing in Literacy this week. We've spent the last 2 weeks reading and writing about the book There's a Possum in the House by Kirsten Jensen. For the last lesson, they had to think about what mischief a possum would get up to in their house! The children had a great time imagining a possum tipping over their tv, sleeping in their bed, pulling out the stuffing from their teddies and destroying the kitchen (sorry mums and dads!). They did a wonderful job drawing a picture and writing a sentence about their story. There's a lot to think about when you write - letter formation, finger spaces, sounding out words and that it all makes sense, so they should all be very proud of themselves. We hope you have a wonderful weekend, see you in Week 7! 

Year 1

Hello Families,

We have had another wonderful and busy week of learning in our classroom. The children have continued to show enthusiasm and curiosity across all learning areas and should be very proud of their efforts.

This week in Mathematics, we have been exploring comparing measurement. It was a wonderful opportunity to get out of the classroom and into the sandpit for some hands-on learning. The children enjoyed comparing and discussing different measurements using informal units in a fun and engaging way. Please enjoy the photos!

Year 2

HELLO Families,                                                    

We had a lovely week with our  learning together. We braved the windy weather and acknowledged  national Reconciliation Day decorating purple hibiscus flowers. At Assembly we shared what we have been learning in class. We began with our class prayer,  signing in AUSLAN and finally a story of how Australia's first nation people connected with the land, it's people and animals. So proud of our young learners, thank you families who came to see our Year 2 assembly program.
