Year 1 Spotlight

A Wonderful Start!

What a wonderful start to our year! Year 1 students have been busy getting to know their classmates, settling back to their routines and having fun at school. To celebrate Lunar New Year, Olivia told them a story about how Lunar New Year started in China. Everyone was surprised to know that for Chinese people, this year is the year of the Rabbit. However, for Vietnamese people, this year is the year of the Cat. We also made lanterns together using the red envelopes. 

School Values

As part of starting the school year, student have been revisiting the school values of Respect, Community, Creativity and Excellence. In our classrooms, we have discussed how we can show each value through our actions and choices. When learning about respect, students listened to ‘Have You Filled a Bucket Today?’ and brainstormed how they can fill up others, and their own buckets. Some of us even made our own buckets to have in class!
