Wow – It is week 11.

What a fantastic term of learning in R MR and R PN.

We have seen children make friends, try new things, explore a new school, be brave, ask questions, discover new thinking, share stories, laugh and have fun.

It has been a busy term where the children have established the important positive social and emotional foundation necessary for learning. They have learnt what it is like to be a part of a learning community and we are excited to see what term 2 brings.

Ladybug paper folding – Then the students created a garden for their ladybug.

Book Making

The children have been amazing authors of their own books this term. The children have been brave 4/5 year old spellers by adding words to their books and increasing the details in their illustrations to tell a story.
