foundation Learning to grow at St Anne's 

Welcome to our blog @ St Anne’s Primary School, Australia.

We are in our first year of school and we love learning. Our blog is a place where we will share our work and learning. We welcome your comments.

Please find a tab above which will direct you to our Term One Overview. This contain important information for you to read.

We will update and add new Overviews each term.

Shrove Tuesday: Pancake Day

We read stories, sang songs, made pancake men and had pancake races. It was an amazing day celebrating the beginning of a special time in the Catholic Church. The school will celebrate Ash Wednesday today.

The most exciting part of the day was eating the pancakes prepared by a team of wonderful Mums. They were delicious!

Congratulations to our SRC students in Foundation. We wish you all the best as our representatives at the meetings and hope you enjoy the extra responsibilities you have now. Awesome work!

In class, we have been learning the days of the week and connecting days of the week to familiar events and actions.

We loved reading the book by Eric Carle, ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’.

We have been learning what day is it today? What day was yesterday? What day is tomorrow? What are our school days? What days are called the ‘weekend’? On what day do we have Library? What day do we have sport? What day can we buy an icypole at school?

We have also learnt about what happens during the sequence of a day. What happens in the morning? the afternoon or evening?

Here is a song to help us learn the Days of the Week

Whilst the Year 5/6 students were away at camp with Mr. Edmonds, Foundation O went for a little walk around our school.

We visited the our buddy’s classrooms, the school office, Mr Edmonds office and the staffroom.

We had lots of fun and left them a message to say we had been there!

When we showed Mr Edmonds the photos, he wondered if we could do his work for him next time.

It was lovely to meet our buddies on the first day of school. We are looking forward to a great year with them.

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank you for all you have given us,

Our friends, our family, our parish,

And all those who care for us.

Give us the strength to grow in faith

As loving, caring children of God,

Through Christ our Lord,

Amen.

Thank you to all those who attended our Foundation Level Mass today. The children sang up beautifully and listened carefully to Fr. Pat. Thank you Father Pat for sharing the liturgy with us. It was a lovely celebration of our first year at school.

‘To Be His Child’

This term the Foundation students have had a lot of fun learning how to code our school Bee Bots. They have enjoyed a few different rotation activities to program the robots to move in different ways and for different purposes.

Take a look at the images and videos below to see how they work!
