An Amazing Term One!

Over the last ten weeks, I have seen the students develop an enthusiasm and love for learning in Year One. The students are learning to have a go at challenging activities and complete activities to the best of their ability.

Special Events

In Term One, the students celebrated…

St. Patrick’s Day

On the 17th March, the students celebrated St. Patrick’s Day. As part of the celebrations, the students wore little green hats, made Irish flags, went on a leprechaun hunt and created self-portraits using a range of art and craft materials. All the students had a wonderful day learning about St Patrick’s Day, as well as interesting facts about Ireland. 


Harmony Week

Classroom Activities

The students participated in classroom activities focusing on inclusiveness, respect and a sense of belonging for everyone. The students learnt and understood how all Australians from diverse backgrounds equally belong to this nation and enrich it. 

Path to Harmony

In Visual Arts, the students worked with Ms Randall to brainstorm responses to the Harmony Day message, “Everyone Belongs”. After a planning session, the students used words, pictures, colours and shapes to convey this message in three different ways; what it looks like, what it sounds like and what it feels like in a place where everyone belongs. The artwork was put together to form the ‘Path to Harmony’ on the village green. Congratulations to all the students for their hard work, excellent responses and creative pictures on the artwork. 


Harmony Day Parade

On the 21st March, the students participated in a parade with their buddy class (Room 8). The students wore clothing representing cultures from around the world or dressed in orange, which is the celebration colour for Harmony Day. Thank you to all the parents for helping your child dress up for the parade. 


Junior Assembly

On the 24th March, the students attended their second Junior Assembly for the year. Congratulations to Alex, Isabella and Elija for receiving their well-deserved Merit Certificates. Keep up the fantastic effort, Caterpillars.


Furthermore, I was presented with the School Board Award for Term One. This was for Demonstrating Excellence in Teaching and Learning. It was a lovely surprise! I will like to say thank you very much for your fantastic support this year. I have really enjoyed getting to know you and your lovely families. I wish you all a happy and safe holiday.

Kind regards
