Year 1 Term 2  Newsletter Update

What a busy and exciting start to the term it’s been in Year 1! In Mathematics, we’ve been exploring patterns—students have loved identifying, creating, and extending their own. In English, we’ve been diving into narratives and are now preparing to create our own adaptations of familiar stories.

Our Science lessons have taken us skyward as we investigated different cloud types and had fun designing our own constellations. In Religion, we’ve been learning about Baptism and Eucharist, exploring the symbols and meanings behind these important sacraments.

In Technology, our focus has been on the essentials we need to survive, with a special emphasis on shelter. We’re excited to put our learning into practice by building our own arks later this term! Meanwhile, in HASS, we’ve been learning to identify natural, managed, and constructed features around Weipa.

In Health, our focus has been on healthy eating and learning how to make good food choices to fuel our bodies.

A big thank you to all who joined us for the beautiful Mother’s Day liturgy and lunch—it was lovely to share the celebration with you.

A gentle reminder that homework is to be returned on Thursdays and given out of Fridays. Please ensure that all school library books are returned – our library day is also Thursday. If there are any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.  

Our Athletics Carnival is just around the corner! Keep an eye out for the schedule and event run sheets. If you're available to help with set-up on the day, your support would be greatly appreciated.
