A Time of Waiting and Investigations

Week Seven in Year One

Week six and seven have been a blast! Within the Learning Area of Religion we have been learning about Lent and in particular the importance of God’s love. We have thought about the kind of people we can be during lent and about making better choices at school and in the playground. Last week's homework task was very exciting to read, students interviewed their parents about how they felt when a new addition was added to their families. We also shared photos of children from when they were babies (gee they were just so cute)! 
Also during the past two weeks Year 1 have started Guided Reading and they have loved being managers and reading different genres. 
A special mention to Sienna, Oscar and Alex who all celebrated their 6th birthday during the past 2 weeks. 
Please note - Year 1’s can wear their House shirts on Thursdays each week.

Kindy Shenanigans!

What a busy week it has been in Kindy; I am amazed that we managed to fit in everything! Last Monday we had an integrated session with the Pre-Primary class to celebrate St Patrick’s Day and acknowledge Mrs Doherty’s heritage. The morning was filled with Leprechauns, shamrocks and all things green (including green jelly).
      
On Tuesday Mr McRae came from the senior school to do some amazing musical movement and singing with us. Later that afternoon we had Mr Brooke meet us in our DaVinci space to show us how science could be used to do magic tricks.
On Thursday, we came to school dressed up as what we wanted to be when we grew up (many thanks to the parents for your support to Caritas - Project Compassion for this experience). 
Our recent fascination with volcanos was taken to a whole new level when Mrs Matthews showed us how to make a volcano from sand and some “special” ingredients. After some fun activities with our Year 10 buddies and some video clips on counting, we were ready for our weekend to begin!

In the coming weeks we will be looking at “New life”, linking into Holy Week and Easter celebrations.  Have a wonderful week!
