In Grade 1, we have been focusing on:

• Developing whole-body listening skills.
• Understanding how God celebrates and adores each of us, while embracing the importance of being proud of who we are.
• Writing simple sentences that include details about who did what, when, and where, while logically sequencing events.
• Familiarising ourselves with literacy group routines and expectations to ensure everyone can learn effectively.
• Connecting number names, numerals, and quantities, as well as ordering numbers up to at least 60.

We were excited to have swimming lessons with Mr. Lochie and have also been exploring exciting science experiments. One of the highlights was the "magic milk" experiment, where we observed various chemical reactions. We've enjoyed getting to know our Grade 5 buddies and our library lessons with Ms. Chris.

Looking ahead, we are excited to learn more about Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday to deepen our understanding of their significance within our community.

As we continue through this school term, I look forward to working together to create a positive and memorable experience for your child. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

Warm regards,
Mrs. Briohny Jones
