Class 1 has been settling in beautifully during the first few weeks of Term 1 and adjusting to the rhythms of our day and week.  We spent the first 2 weeks with a focus on Form Drawing - finding, exploring and drawing straight and curved lines in many forms and using block crayons, ribbons, chalk, shells and gems to recreate the forms.

This week we started our Alphabet block, taking the children on a journey through the alphabet in a sequence that connects the concrete with the abstract - from images to print.  During this we are listening to the stories of the Wise Enchanter and the children's quest to save the world from ignorance by finding all the Letters of the Alphabet!  The children have been inspired by the retelling of these stories and have been enjoying opportunities to create and perform their own stories to the class.

At our class meeting on Wednesday, we welcomed Mala's mum Brooke as our Class Carer.  Many thanks to Brooke for taking this on!
