What's been happening in Stage 1

Education Week

We had a wonderful time moving around our stage, reading beautiful picture books and creating some detailed artworks last Friday at our Education Week Open Day. We were also entertained at the special assembly with our Stage 1 Dance Group, performing to "Like a drum." What stars they are!!!

K/1G: Come down cat       1S: The terrible plop           1RS: The monster that wrote me a letter

1/2K:The lighthouse keeper's lunch  2BR: Room on a broom   2/3B: The monster that ate Australia

Our COGS unit

This term, stage one students are learning about  "the need for shelter." We are developing our understanding on who needs shelter and different kinds of shelter. At the end of the unit, students will be making their very own shelter. We are also busily preparing for our concert items, which is very exciting and fun! We cannot wait to show you all! If you are able to lend a hand in creating some of the costumes, please let your child's classroom teacher know as soon as possible.

Sport

This term, Stage 1 students are learning a range of individual and partner dances. We have already learnt the "Heel and Toe Polka" and the "Penguin Dance."

1/2K and 2BR Information Report Writing Unit

Mrs Keyes, Mrs Beemster and Mrs Raccani-Hewitt are very proud of the "Turtle Wall" students have created in the Art Room, as they have been learning about Sea Turtles and beginning to write their very own Information Report. We have created many "We wonder" questions like: "We wonder why turtles are endangered even though they lay up to 100 eggs at a time?" We hope we can "discover" some of these answers!!!!

Active After School

Active After School has begun for Term 3. Students in Year 2 have the opportunity to participate in this free program on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. This term students are learning skills in cricket and zumba.

Onsie and PJ Day

What a fun day Stage 1 had on Tuesday as they took part in a Student Parliament project "Onsie and PJ Day." We certainly enjoyed wearing some snuggly, warm clothing for a day!
