Religion/Inquiry

 We have been exploring the story of the Good Samaritan and the qualities of the characters. Our Learner Profile attributes that we have been focusing on are - How to be Principled and How to be Caring in our Year 1/2  community. The Good Samaritan was principled and caring because he helped others and felt sorry even though he didn’t know them.

Maths

In Maths we made pancakes on Shrove Tuesday.  We measured the ingredients. Eggs and flour were once   forbidden during the 40-day Lenten fast, so on Shrove Tuesday, the day before Lent, people would make pancakes to use up their goods of those ingredients. Here are some photos of us cooking pancakes and using maths to help us cook.
