Road Safety Incursion 

This term the Grade 1/2 students are learning about Road Safety.  They are participating in various activities highlighting safe travel on public roads, with an emphasis on going to and from school.

On Tuesday 15th October, the students had an incursion - The RACV Street Scene Program. The RACV helps to teach children about road safety through this program and provides first-hand activities and experiences of real traffic situations.

During the 45 minutes, the students learnt about: 

• How to properly cross the road – Stop, Look, Listen and Think.
• Different road signs and what each sign means.
• The importance of wearing a seat belt and why it is safer for children to be in the back seat.
• Different hazards on the road. 

The students had fun singing songs and completing different hands-on activities during the session.

Here are some student recounts of the day:

Weather Is All Around Us

This term Level Two is looking at weather. The students are investigating what weather is, what different components make up weather and how weather affects us. We have already discussed what we already know about weather and what we would like to know. The students have completed some beautiful craft activities as well as investigating other weather concepts through fun and exciting experiments in science.

 

Buddies

This year Grade 1/2 are having fun learning and playing with Grade 5/6 buddies.  Having a buddy class helps the students become more independent and confident in their school surrounds, and have an older person who they are able to approach for help in the playground if they should need it. Buddy classes also have lunch together, share their favourite stories and play structured games in the classroom and outside in the playground. We try to aim to meet with our buddy class once a fortnight to share in these activities.
