Welcome to term 2! We have another jam packed term ahead of us with NAPLAN, Sports Day, Simultaneous Story Time, Athletics training and of course the whole school camp.

In English this term, the 3-5 class will continue working though the different writing styles including narratives and expositions. They will also be focusing on handwriting as well as typing. We are doing a lot of reading comprehension tasks to further that skill as well.

In HASS this term we are focusing on the topic ‘Australia’s first people’.  We will cover subjects such as How Australia’s First People Lived, language groups, creation stories and why colonies where established. Students will be working on their reading, writing and research skills.

PE lessons will be largely based on getting ready for sports day. In week 4 we had a coach visiting to further enhance students’ techniques at various athletic events. In health we will begin covering the child protection curriculum.  ‘The Keeping Safe: Child Protection Curriculum (KS:CPC) is a world class, evidence-based child safety curriculum that teaches children and young people to recognise abuse, tell a trusted adult, understand what is appropriate and inappropriate touching and ways of keeping themselves safe. The KS:CPC is delivered to students by educators that have completed a comprehensive training course. The curriculum is based on two main themes: · We all have the right to be safe · We can help ourselves to be safe by talking to people we trust.’

With so much on, this term is sure to fly by!
