Hello from P4,

As we enter Term 2, I am constantly amazed by how far our learners have come in such a short time. We continue to grow as a team and the students are proving to be thoughtful and kind.

We have hit the floor running during our literacy program with our students using a range of strategies to create text. We are using higher modality words when writing persuasive text. In addition, our learners are accessing word walls, PODD, and sounds including diagraphs (two letters making one sound) to write.

In maths we continue to work independently to consolidate our number and shape. It is lovely to see students helping each other to share strategies and skills.

After attending Districts Cross-Country, Taten returned to school proudly wearing a medal for his efforts. He has qualified for the Regional Cross-Country trials. Can’t wait for that event!

Our Sector celebrated Mothers’ Day with an afternoon tea outside the Gym (due to rainy weather). We had many family visitors and the students served fruit, cupcakes and punch. Our learners practiced greeting and serving their family members earlier in the day, so they would feel more confident when their families arrived. Thank you to all the families who attended, it was lots of fun.  

Stay tuned for our next edition of news,

Koby, Rose, Skylah, Taten and Trinity, Steve and Deb.
