During Term 3, Year 2 has been investigating how different communities have entertained  themselves over time. As a part of our Inquiry Unit, we recently had author and illustrator Nicky Johnston again welcomed into the school to teach students about the writing and illustrating process. Students learnt about identity through the beautiful book Amara’s Suitcase, how to illustrate their work and use illustration to support writing ideas. You may notice our budding author and illustrator stories, cartoons and pictures popping up around the Year 2 corridors for you too enjoy! In the meantime, here’s a video of the workshop.

What a wonderful surprise it was to celebrate Milo's birthday together! The children were so excited to surprise Milo with a special birthday celebration, and it was lovely to see the joy and excitement on everyone's faces during our parade.

It was also fantastic to see the children dressed as characters from the story.  As we celebrate the children's achievement of learning all 26 letter sounds of the alphabet, it has been wonderful to see their confidence and love of learning continue to grow.

A sincere thank you to our families for supporting the children with their costumes and for your ongoing encouragement at home. Your partnership plays an important role in your child's learning journey, and we greatly appreciate your support.

Our Year 1 students have been learning the /ar/ sound and exploring the different spelling choices ar, al, and a. As part of our literacy unit, we brought the learning to life with a fun “ARt Party”! Students enjoyed making jam tarts and trying marble painting while practising reading and spelling words with the /ar/ sound. It was a creative and engaging way to build phonics skills while having lots of fun.

Year 1 students have been introduced to Dash the robot, which can make sounds, record voices, move when connected to an iPad via Bluetooth, and be programmed to perform tasks. Students have also designed their own digital robot systems, showcasing many creative ideas. In addition, they’ve enjoyed playing coding games and solving puzzles to build their problem‑solving and computational thinking skills. 🤖

Students across all year levels have begun this term learning about the Doll’s Festival, Hinamatsuri! Hinamatsuri celebrates girls annually on March 3rd. Families display hina-ningyo dolls representing the Heian-period imperial court, eat festive foods such as hina-arare rice crackers, and welcomes the arrival of spring. The dolls are used to transfer bad luck, which were floated down the river.

The Year 1&2 students made their own origami paper dolls and they are on display in the Languages room.

Ja mata,

Van Hoof Sensei

On Friday 20th March, the Year 3 students enjoyed their Mornington History excursion! They visited the Post Office Museum where volunteers shared stories about Mornington’s past and explored some interesting antiques and artefacts.

Students also toured the courthouse and gaol, and going inside the cells was a huge  highlight. Along Main Street, they read plaques about the history of some of the local buildings. We went on a beach walk where a volunteer, Ian, shared his knowledge about the area, Matthew Flinders and Aboriginal middens.

The students had a fantastic day and loved sharing what they learned. A big thank you to all of our volunteers for your support!

The Year 2s were recently treated to an exciting virtual reality incursion where they experienced First Nations Dreaming stories, such as the Rainbow Serpent, and traditional dances. The incursion linked to our inquiry topic of Identity and how culture helps shape who we are. Students later used watercolours and paint sticks to create an artwork depicting their favourite scene from the session.

It has been a pleasure to welcome our Prep students and families as we begin the children’s first year at Mount Martha Primary School. Thank you to families for the wonderful support shown during our first weeks, helping to ensure a smooth and positive start to the school year.

The children have already embraced school life with enthusiasm and resilience and continue to impress us with their willingness to engage in new learning experiences and challenges.

In Prep, we have commenced our Little Learners Love Literacy program. Students have met Milo Monkey, who introduced them to the /m/ sound. The children thoroughly enjoyed creating their own Milo Monkey hand puppets, which they proudly took home to share their learning with their families.

We look forward to an exciting and successful term ahead as the children continue to grow and flourish in their learning journey.
