Year 1

Last week we welcomed Massi and his dad, Mr Farrell, to Sacred Heart! It was wonderful to have you with us. We hope you enjoyed your time here and look forward to seeing you again soon.

In English, Year 1 students have been learning how to write persuasively. They've been busy crafting letters to Mr Graham, using their best arguments to convince him!

In Maths, we've been exploring:

• Two-digit place value
• Collecting and comparing data
• Features of 2D shapes

In Religion, we learned about Australia’s first saint – Saint Mary MacKillop. We're inspired by her kindness and love, and we’re striving to follow her example every day.

"Never see a need without doing something about it." – Saint Mary MacKillop

We’re also learning about Moses, and thanking God for his trust and leadership.
 "Dear God, thank you for Moses, who trusted you and helped others. Help us to trust you and show kindness every day."

We’ve been practising how to solve problems using a step-by-step process:

• Using calming strategies
• Trying to solve problems on our own
• Asking for help when we need it

We’ve loved our Genius Hour sessions, where students explore their own interests and creativity. And we’re all looking forward to Athletics Day this Friday – go Team McDermott!

Eso and kind regards,
Mrs. Briohny Jones
