1/2K OLC

Good morning all, What a wild week we have had!  Lunch duty on Wednesday was an interesting one with the kids watching the lightning and  hearing the thunder rolling in, bunkering in the hall until the heavens opened up and it rained so hard that a few 1/2K members and I watched the drains become full flowing fountains! Ash Wednesday On Wednesday the school participated in the Ash Wednesday prayer service in the hall.  This marked the first day in the church season of lent.  We have talked about making Lenten promises for the next 40 days and things we can give up, do for others and how we can donate to those in need. Parent Roster Due to the short week next week with Monday being a  public holiday and swimming lessons in week 6, the Year One and Two team have decided to start parent roster in week 7. Parent roster will run Monday- Thursday from 8.40-10.40am. I will pop a roster outside our door - we would love to have you in!  Please only put your ...

Dear Parents, Tomorrow your child will come home with their new news roster! Your child will have the opportunity to have their news once a fortnight with a specific theme.

We have also been having great fun getting stuck into our science concept topics (sound in Year One and push/pull forces in Year 2) and learning about digital technology apps as a tool to record our learning.  I am so proud of how much focus and persistence with a positive attitude our 1/2K team are showing when learning new things. In just a few weeks we are already growing our confidence to problem solve and continuing to build our independence to complete our work, try out new things and even suggest other ways we can show what we know and have lear...
