Year 1

Weather Incursion

On Thursday 27 October we will be having a Weather Day! Year 1 students will participate in a ‘Wicked Weather’ incursion as part of their studies in our Integrated Unit this term. Students will compare the steam produced by boiling water to the formation of a cloud, observe a simulation of rain forming and falling, a simulation of a tornado and participate in many more hands on science activities! 

The students are asked to come to school dressed in clothes from their favourite season. Throughout the day the students will also be participating in a range of weather activities. 

Parents and guardians are invited into the classrooms from 2.20pm on this day, to make a weather collage poster with their child in their class.

Incursion details have been published on Compass. To assist families, the school has subsidised this activity providing $5 for every student. Payment of $10 and consent are due now, and not later than Monday 24 October. CSEF can be applied to this activity.  

Swimming Program

Year 1 students will participate in an intensive swimming program run by Just Swimming at Aqualink Nunawading from Wednesday 2 to Friday 11 November. The daily lessons are about 40 minutes long. 

The swimming program is part of the curriculum and a compulsory activity, as directed by the Department of Education, and all students are expected to attend.

Program information has been published on Compass. Payment of $45 and your consent is due now, and not later than Friday 21 October. CSEF can be applied. The cost of the program this year has been subsidised with unspent swimming funds from previous years. There will be no refunds or make up lessons for isolated lessons missed, as the costs are set. 

Parent helpers are required. If you have a current Working with Children Check that has been presented at the School Office to be copied and recorded, you can volunteer if you want to assist. Email your child's classroom teacher to advise your availability.
