Year 1 News

Year 1G were very lucky to have the amazing and inspirational para triathlete Brant Garvey speak to them about taking risks, trying your very best and no excuses. Brant spoke to the boys about the difficulties he faced growing up with one leg and how easy it would've been for him to give up. The boys were in awe of what he had achieved and very inquisitive about the different legs he used for different activities, in particular the blade. It has been wonderful to see the impact of his talk on the boys. They have been taking risks inside and outside the classroom and certainly have an attitude of having a go and never giving up.

We are very excited about what the new term holds as we launch into our new unit of inquiry about vehicles and how they assist us to function within our community. We will be out and about collecting data and making tallies in the coming weeks.
