This months learning update for Stage 1 is brought to you by Stage 1 teachers Miss Atachparian and Miss Dennis.
Religion
This term in Kindergarten we are beginning to get ready for the coming of Jesus at Christmas. Kindergarten learnt all about the Angel Gabriel coming to Mary to announce that she would be the Mother of Jesus.
Kindergarten created an artistic interpretation of what they thought of while listening to the scripture. It was very impressive to see what Kindergarten found most important in their painting and the words they chose to highlight within their work.
Literacy
In literacy, we have been learning about how to make our writing more interesting using adjectives, also known as ‘spicy words’ to engage the reader/audience. Students used an amazing amount of adjectives to describe a variety of things in their writing i.e. alien, pizzas and houses. Kindergarten have shown excellent growth in their writing skills this term as they apply their knowledge and understanding of the ‘non negotiables of writing’ i.e. starting our sentences with a capital letter, spaces in between words and a full stop at the end of our sentence.
This past week, students wrote intriguing recounts on a variety of subjects that allowed them to apply more adjectives in their writing and showcase their understanding of writing about things that have already happened. The students and their teachers are extremely proud of Kindergarten’s achievements in writing! Well done on your efforts!
Numeracy
Kindergarten started the term with some spectacular maths in addition and subtraction. Students had to create different ways of making the number 10 using 10 dice. Students were very quick to collect 6+4 and 5+5, but found very clever ways to use smaller numbers and lots of dice to get to 10.

The Australian Catholic Bishops Conference (ACBC) has welcomed the election of Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost as the Pope, now to be known by the name Leo XIV. This represents a momentous event in the life of the Catholic Church, the wider community of Christian believers and, in many respects, the whole world.β Conference President, Archbishop Costelloe said Pope Francis had βreminded us that unity does not demand uniformity, but rather openness to the rich diversity of the many cultures and traditions which are part of our Christian heritageβ. Pope Leo XIV paid tribute to Pope Francis in his first remarks, which focused on peace. βPeace be with all of you,β he said. He urged the faithful to βmove forward, without fear, united, hand in hand with God and with each otherβ. Let us all pray for Pope Leo πππ»πππ»πππ»πππ»

Tomorrow or Stage 1 students will continue with their Kitchen Garden Program. Both Year 1 and Year 2 in small groups work out in Blueyβs Patch tending to the veggie garden and then get βcookingβ and prepare something using items they have gathered from the patch. Last term they made flavoured their water using herbs from the garden and other fruits. A great way to get kids interested and trying healthy food. What will they make this term??? ππΏππΏππΏππΏ

Last week we celebrated the beautiful ladies in our office who keep our school thriving and Dana who takes care of all our IT issues. These AMAZING ladies are simply the best as they are the back bone of the school, ensuring everything is ticking along just as it should.

On Friday we celebrated our ANZAC Day Liturgy a little differently due to the unpredictable weather. Year 3, 4 and KBlue gathered in the year 3 space and all the other classes gathered in their respective spaces. Our Stage 3 Mission Team led our liturgy with KBlue in charge of the Gospel procession and 3Gold sharing their reflections. Our students were both respectfully and prayerful. We will remember them. Lest we forget. ππΊππΊππΊππΊ
