2021 SEMESTER 2 NEWSLETTER
Early Learning This semester we have ALL been busy growing, learning and playing together. You see, we couldn’t all be at Girl Academy the whole time this Semester, so we were all in Early Learning at different times while our mums went to classes. Even Miss Rachael did study so she can keep up with us, as we learn very quickly. We went on excursions, created art and discovered… But that’s not all we did. We used lots of traditional language words in our singing and storytelling; lots of grown-ups can’t speak two languages! We created wonderful art with traditional tools, which Miss Rachael described as absolute masterpieces! The beach and the creek are great places to have adventures, and we find lots of very interesting things on our walks. We’ve looked at things we see in the sky, learned nursery rhymes, made instruments and then music, and had fun with things that go round and round (you should see Miss Rachael try to hula hoop)!
We’ve learned about wild animals, farm animals, as well as colours and counting. Some of us even started crawling and talking – we are so clever! We have looked at how things move (including ourselves) and even done some cooking (not always edible though, but it’s messy fun). We helped celebrate NAIDOC with all of the other students, while we displayed our art and our dancing skills, and our families came too – we loved all the cuddles and attention. We’ve also enjoyed lots of water play as it has been getting hot – splashing is so cool! Of course we made sure to visit our furry, scaly and toughskinned friends at Hartley’s Crocodile Adventures because they would miss us if we didn’t. So the end of the year has been fantastic. We can’t wait to see what we can do in 2022.
