This term Transition Politis have been busy exploring the alphabet! We’ve been learning about each letter’s sound and how to recognise them in words. We have been especially excited to discover the letters in our own names through fun and creative art activities. From painting and mosaicing to building with playdough and blocks, our little learners have been making connections and building a strong foundation for reading and writing. It’s been a wonderful journey of discovery and we can’t wait to see how our alphabet adventures continue to grow!

Last week all Preschool Groups celebrated Harmony Day by welcoming our families into our learning spaces for some fun activities and a morning tea. Students participated in creating a collaborative artwork, shared about their cultures, indulged in some delicious foods from many different cultures around the world. Students learnt how to say hello in different languages and dances from different cultures. Some of the highlights from the Preschool students were:

“I loved boomerang painting with my Mum”

“I loved playing”

“I loved eating and seeing Mummy at Preschool”

“I loved all the new food”

“I loved making people”

It was such a wonderful experience for us all. Thank you for taking the time to contribute to the morning tea and joining in with our learning experiences that morning. We look forward to welcoming you again for our Colour Splatacular in term 2.

The Preschool Team

This term, students in 1/2 Robertson have been working on their social skills and working together as a team with several challenges given out. All students have been given roles in team with modelled practice how to share ideas respectfully with each other, how to share equipment respectfully and how to work together to resolve a problem.

Michelle might be little but she can certainly pack a punch, black belt, tick, climbing a mountain, tick, making the Olympics team, tick, building a house in Cambodia for people devastated by war, tick, raising money for the homeless, tick, inspiring teacher and all round super human being, tick, tick, tick. Michelle has only been with Zuccoli for a few months but has already made an impact on those around her. Her passion for teaching and general thirst for life makes her an incredible asset to our school and we are grateful she chose to teach at our school.

Enjoying Feathered Friends in the Garden

The Zuccoli Primary School Garden would like to thank, Karina from Dundee, who kindly donated six chicks to our school in early February. The chicks have been growing quickly and the students have enjoyed observing the changes each week. Now that the chickens have feathers, the students have been gently patting and holding them. In Term 2, students will be naming the new chickens and they will join the school flock. Thank you Karina for your kindness and generosity.

Strength, Stamina and Smiles!

This term, our Year 5/6 students have been pushing themselves to new limits in PE, focusing on building strength, endurance and teamwork.

Morning Fitness Challenges Each morning, students kickstart their day with high-energy fitness sessions designed to build stamina and boost mood. Two favourite challenges have quickly emerged — the Bring Sally Up squat challenge and the Roxanne sit-up challenge. These activities not only build physical strength but also foster resilience and camaraderie as students encourage one another to power through every beat. It’s been fantastic to see their determination and enthusiasm grow with each session!

We’ve also teamed up with our buddy class, 3/4 Strnatka, to learn some boxing fitness skills. Students are loving these sessions, showing great enthusiasm and effort as we punch, jab, kick and duck our way to better fitness. It’s been wonderful to see both classes working together and supporting each other.

Mass Lessons in Action In addition to fitness, our students are diving into practical maths lessons exploring the concept of mass. Through hands-on activities, they’re learning to measure, compare and calculate mass in everyday objects — bringing numeracy to life in an active, engaging way. The excitement is evident as students collaborate, problem-solve and apply their understanding in real-world contexts.

We’re incredibly proud of the effort, persistence and positive attitudes our Year 5/6 students are demonstrating. Stay tuned for more updates and pictures showcasing their fantastic progress!

Let’s keep moving and learning together!
