Term 2



Term 2 in Grade 1 has again been action-packed with loads of fun, learning and team building activities. Of particular note have been our Literacy Rotations. We combined both classes, four mornings per week, to do doing Literacy Rotations. The rotations provided a range of literature tasks, which further developed student’s reading, spelling and writing skills. Thank-you to all those parents who have given time to assist in the classroom. We hope you have enjoyed working both alongside your child, but also learning more about our class program.

On Wednesday 20th May, our Learning Pals afternoon came to life! Parents were invited to join their children in our open Learning Pals session. Parents had the opportunity to meet their child’s Year 6 Learning Pal and participate in some maths games. 

Kerrimuir Primary School’s Open Night occurred on the night of Wednesday 20th May. The grade 1s had been practising their performance over a number of weeks. On the night, we performed a Doubles Rap and a dance - Dinosaur Stomp. It was a noisy but enjoyable performance. Back in our classrooms, the students became the teachers and taught parents, grandparents and siblings some of the Maths games we have been playing in class.

Fireman Visit



Today, we were also lucky enough to have a visit from a member of the Fire Brigade. Thanks to Ruby E. for inviting her uncle to come and speak to us. He talked about things that the fire brigade do to help the community on top of putting out fires and how quickly they have to get dressed when the fire alarm goes off at the station. He explained that their uniforms are always set-up ready to go at a moments notice. The uniforms are big and heavy to help protect them in the event of a serious fire. Students didn’t get dress up as junior fire brigade members because the uniforms are so heavy. Instead, Miss Harris got to dress-up as a fireman!

Police Visit



Yesterday, we were lucky enough to have a visit from Rebecca, a police officer and Vince and Graeme, from Neighbourhood Watch. They spoke to us about Neighbourhood Watch and the numerous roles that the police undertake to help us in the community. The highlight was seeing 38 junior police officers, dressed-up in uniform, on the basketball court. Each of us had to take the salute then climb into the police car, checking out the equipment and giving police commands. We also got to hear the siren!

Tennis Clinic



On Tuesday 17th and Tuesday 24th February, the Grade 1s attended a Tennis Clinic, held at school. 

Both grades started off by playing some games and then they did some hand-eye coordination skills by balancing a tennis ball on different parts of the racquet.

They then learnt how to do a volley and a forehand and were able to practice hitting the ball over the net.

The sessions were enjoyed by both grades!
