Our Grade One students have done a wonderful job of settling back into school for Term Three. This term our Connected Learning topic is Stimulating Science where students are focused on investigating and understanding the living and physical world through hands-on experiences.
Some of other the things we have been doing in Grade One include:
- Revising previously learned sounds in phonics including oi/oy words
- Learning what homophones are
- Focusing on writing interesting sentences with correct punctuation and structure
- Learning how to identify nouns, verbs and adjectives
- Practicing reading strategies such as visualising and checking for meaning in our reading
- Identifying different patterns, including repeating and growing patterns
- Investigating different 2D shapes and their features
- Practising our awesome skipping skills in the courtyard for the Jump Rope for Heart fundraiser
Every week the Grade Ones also focus on Respectful Relationships which help them to develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to build positive relationships amongst their peers. They practice important skills such as communicating respectfully, building resilience and how to solve problems peacefully.
