Wednesday 4/4

Today in 1/2DW we had a very big day.

First we sent off our Year 2's off with Mrs Frances to run the Cross Country. Many of our Year 1's were wishing they were in Year 2 so they could run as well but they'll have to wait 1 more year. Our Year 2 students came back with red faces and tales of great running and we were very proud of them.

We watched a short clip about Easter which showed what Jesus did for us. It was made using a Children's Storybook Bible and we had a discussion about how exciting it is that Jesus rose again!

Later we gave out our birthday awards. Lots of people have had birthdays already this year!

After recess we wrote Narratives. Narratives have

* Orientation- introducing the main characters, setting,time and place.

* Complication- a problem happens for one of the main characters.
* Resolution- the problem is resolved.

We all wrote some amazing Narratives. There were stories about getting lost at the shops, animals being chased by other animals, a butterfly getting caught by a spider and many stories featured characters from Star Wars!





After lunch we had lots of fun in the hall. We were able to try lots of different activities with 1H and 2F.

There were extra NED awards given out because we won't be at school on Friday. Ned awards are for NEVER giving up, ENCOURAGING others and DOING your best.

Nathanael and Emily A were two of the Term 1 NED winners for getting the most NED awards. They received a chocolate.



Well done to Emily A & Nathanael!

Thanks to all of your support this term. I've had a wonderful first term with 1/2DW and I can't wait to hear how exciting the holidays has been for all the students. We'd love the students to comment on the blog about what they've been doing during the holidays. Have a wonderful holiday as we remember the loving God who sent his only son Jesus out of total love for all of us.
