FOUNDATION LEVEL LEARNING - Sally Lane & Claire Giles
This Term, one area the Foundation students have focused achieving outcomes from the Victorian Curriculum, is 'Personal and Social Capabilities'. They have developed knowledge, skills and understanding on recognising the expression of emotions and become aware of how their emotions can be affected in different situations. As school is a new environment this year, students have learnt to articulate how peers may feel in the classroom and playground, depending on certain situations. For example, students are aware they may feel embarrassed or worried about making new friends, if they don’t immediately understand a tasks or they accidentally eat a snack instead of their fruit! They are aware if a student is upset in the playground, how they can help them to feel better and can name ways to help themselves and others when needed. We are pleased to spread the news that all Foundies feel ‘great’ most of every school day.
