This term, our class took pride in the many ways we are growing as learners. Students celebrated their hard work in writing, sounding out words, and handwriting, showing significant progress through the Little Learners Love Literacy program. They loved hands-on activities like Read and Grab, Sound Swap, Read, Write, and Draw, as well as creative projects such as building animal habitats, gardening, and exploring Australian animals like quokkas, wombats, and dugongs. Many students spoke proudly about coming to school every day, playing with friends, and learning Bible stories that show God’s promises. Looking ahead, they want to keep improving their reading, writing, drawing, and listening, as well as trying new challenges, showing kindness, and even taking on the role of “teacher.”

“I feel proud of my writing and sounding out words. I loved playing Read and Grab and Sound Swap with my friends. I really want to reach Year 2’s level! Next term, I want to get better at writing, painting, and learning to play instruments.”

Mikes
“I loved learning about quokkas and making my Rottnest Island habitat. One day, I want to travel to Perth to see a quokka smile. I’d like to keep improving my reading and writing, especially sounding out words.”

Shirley
“I’m proud of myself for coming to school every day. Making my koala habitat was so much fun because I got to build it using different materials. Next term, I want to challenge myself then teach my class.”

Viv
“I worked hard on my handwriting, and I’m proud that it’s getting neater. I liked learning about Sarah and Abraham because it showed me that God keeps promises, and I love that. Next term, I want to follow instructions straight away and have fun in my swimming lessons.”

“I’m proud that I came to school every day, read books, played with my friends, and had fun. I loved gardening—planting flowers, watering them, and watching my beans grow. Next term, I want to be kind and look after my friends. I really want to be the teacher!”

Mere
“I’m proud of going to sleep early and learning about wombats. I loved Private Maths because I got to use gold coins and diamonds like treasure, and I had to count them in rows. I want to be a better listener and improve my reading and writing.”

Junior
“I felt proud when I learnt about dugongs, dingoes, and other Australian animals. I loved reading books and writing about my favourite animals because it made my brain grow. Next term, I want to get even better at reading and writing.”

Dante
“I loved learning about wombats, lyrebirds, cockatoos, and quokkas. My favourite activity was Read, Write and Draw because it challenged me with new words. I want to get better at sounding out, reading, spelling long words, and drawing.”

Too deadly! Well done, everyone. We can’t wait to watch your growth next term.

Kindest,
