Year 1/2 Update

In Year 1/2 we have been focusing on stress. We have been exploring different things that can make us feel stressed and ways that we can manage it. We worked together to make a poster to identify what stress looks like and strategies to get back to the green zone. Some of the strategies we identified were reading a book, having quiet time, watching a movie, using a stress ball and taking deep breaths. 

Bullying No Way Day

Last Friday 16th March was the National Day of Action against Violence and Bullying. 2018's focus is on imagining a world free from bullying.

Over the coming week, classes will be running some activities to teach students how to recognise and respond to bullying situations. They will also have the opportunity to imagine a world without bullying and design their own poster. These will be displayed around the school as we continue to promote a respectful and caring school environment. 

Ride2School Day

This Friday 23rd March is Ride2School Day! We want to encourage everyone at school to get active and look after their health. There are also great prizes to be won for the schools that have the most number of students riding, walking, skating or scooting to school on Friday. 

On Friday morning at 8:15am, students and parents are invited to meet myself and the student leaders at Hansen Reserve. We will meet on the footpath near the playground. Students are invited to walk, scoot, skate or ride to school. 

Once we arrive at school, we will have a running circuit set up for students to get active before the school day begins. We will also have some fruit platters to enjoy. 

Everyone is welcome to participate and we hope to see you all at Hansen Reserve on Friday morning.
