Exploring the ELC

We have arrived!

The Pre Primary students have settled very well into the Early Learning Centre. The Junior school had an impressive welcome ceremony with the senior students all clapping and cheering as they entered the class for the first time. This made everyone feel very special. Then the students showed their parents around the new classroom, and they were impressed with the state of the art facilities.

We have slowly gotten back into routine with our Letters and Sounds activities and have begun learning the concept of Addition. The students have also been able to get wet during water play and messy with painting in our HUGE space.  I'd like to thank all of the parents who have begun assisting in our classroom. It is so wonderful to have you as partners in learning.

I think I can say on behalf of everyone, including our class teddy Oscar, that we all absolutely LOVE our new classroom.

Year Two

The first two weeks in our new classroom have flown!  The opening of the new building was really exciting and we were able to describe what we thought using some really cool (and different!) adjectives such as ‘shapeish’, fresh, and enormous. 

In maths we are discovering fact families and how addition and subtraction are related.  One of the fact families that we discovered is that 6 + 8 = 14, its flip around is 8 + 6 = 14 and the take away facts that are related to this are 14 – 8 = 6 and 14 – 6 = 8. 

This week we started our health topic about our body with the Year Ones.  We had to listen to our body and the noises that it makes.  We then had to run really fast and make the noises change.  Some of us were able to tell how our heart helps our body.  They used their super computers inside their heads!

Here’s to using our super computers this week!
