Wow! What a fantastic start to Year 1 we have all had! 

 We have loved getting to know each other and learning more about our gifts and talents.  

In Maths we have begun exploring patterns. We have learnt how to identify and continue AB, ABC, AAB and ABB patterns. We even got to design and create our own pattern bracelet inspired by First Nations artist Marissa Thompson who makes pattern bracelets out of seeds and other natural materials.  

In Literacy we are learning to write recounts. We know we must include who, what, when and where. We are also busy learning lots of new phonemes, digraphs and tricky words in InitiaLit.   

In Religion we are developing our understanding of the liturgical calendar and why we have different coloured prayer cloths. Our prayer cloth changes during Lent as purple is a symbol of preparation. We enjoyed eating pancakes for Shrove Tuesday. 

In HASS we have been exploring the different things at our school that are natural and constructed.
