Year 1 News

Year 1 students have been working hard to start Term 2 strong! 
We are learning to:
-Read and answer literal questions in response to short texts.
-Find the answers within a text. 

-Measure the mass of objects using hefting and using balance scales.

-Find the capacity of objects.

-Write short information text about Australian animals. Include details about their appearance, habitat and diet. 

-Order numbers and locate them on a numberline.

In Connected Learning we have been learning about the 7 Wurundjeri Seasons traditionally recognised in this area, and learning about how signs in the environment can help us recognise what time of year it is. We were excited to hear from Rueben, Jirra and Kalinga Berg, who shared traditional knowledge with the Year 1 and 2 students! We are lucky to have families so willing to share  their cultural knowledge with us.

We have also welcomed parent helpers into our classrooms! Thank you to those that have volunteered to read with our students! Practise makes progress and we are grateful to have your support!
