In the Penguin class we are just beginning our exciting journey through Oxley Primary School. In our class we work hard on developing our understanding of ourselves and our feelings, making friendships, communicating effectively with others and learning rules and routines. We also learn about the Oxley values and we make sure we show an ‘I can’ attitude in everything we do!

We learn in so many different ways in the Penguins. We have whole class learning, small group learning tasks with an adult and we spend lots of time learning independently and choosing activities from around our classroom – inside and outside. The adults spend time observing and studying how we play to make sure the learning activities they plan are fun, meaningful and motivating.

Our learning tasks and classroom provision are delivered through topics and our themes for this year are:

• Who am I? Where do I belong?
• What happens in the night sky?
• What happened ‘Once Upon a Time…?’
• What makes animals amazing?
• How does your garden grow?
• What is it like where I live?
