Prep

This term Prep have started learning about Time. We have been speaking about the duration of time. We have discussed and participated in activities that take a short time and a long time and then explaining why.  We have been doing puzzles that take a long time and short time, jumping for one second and for a minute, having racing competitions to deliver ‘mail’ to different locations in the playground and having competitions to see who can put their shoes on first. Students then had to explain why one student was faster than the other student.  

Year 1

On the last day of Term 2, 1A joined the rest of the junior school in a sports fun day! We participated in sprint races, lap races and tabloid games. It was a fun day and the weather was delightful. A big thank you to all the families who came along to cheer on all the students.

Year 2

All the students in year 2 have returned refreshed and ready to learn. 

This week, we've been learning about persuasive texts. So, if your child suddenly says, "I want an ice cream because…", followed by a clear introduction, three convincing reasons, and a thoughtful conclusion — don’t be surprised! 

They’re learning how to express their opinions and persuade others using structured arguments. You might even find their reasoning benefits both them and you. 

We're having lots of fun with it and the students are really embracing this new writing style. 

We also have been getting ready for NAIDOC, learning about how to treat our friends, Making cards for our sick friend in our class and reward time with bubbles.
