Junior School Update

Kindergarten

The Kindergarten students have welcomed Autumn Term with smiles and enthusiasm. They have been immersed in the research of Minibeasts. Over the last two weeks, the students learning intention in English has been to identify the letter sounds I for insects and M for minibeasts. The students, in particular, loved learning about insects. They searched for insects during outdoor learning time, counted their six legs and were involved in a lot of sensory exploration in mud, wood chips and even sticky-icky jelly! In Mathematics, they have been learning to count up to 20.

The students are encouraged to keep seeing the world as creative explorers with open eyes, and who are willing to challenge and experiment anything they come across in order to make their own understanding.

Just a reminder that on Wednesday, 10 May we are hosting a Mother’s Day Pampering Session in our Kindergarten Classrooms. The students cannot wait to spoil their mums!

Year 1H and 1C have been enjoying the sunshine this term, with the Junior School Cross Country Carnival and our outdoor play.

 

All students were very excited to participate in the Cross Country Carnival, and after many weeks of training, the day was here. We were showing House spirit with our House shirts; Salvado capes, McCormack tutus, Frayne masks and Ozanam pom poms. After a few warm-up stretches, we were ready to race! We were very proud of our efforts as everyone completed the race, with smiles still on our faces.

One of our favourite times of day has been lunchtime as we get to sit down with our friends and fill them in on all our interesting experiences we have been having. It has been lots of fun making new friends and learning new games.
