It’s Term 3 and the Year 1s have started the Term off in a fabulous fashion.
We have been studying
- Shapes : identifying and classifying 2D shapes. We grouped them according to rules and then asked our friends to work out the rule
- Number and Algebra : working out patterns and continuing them using shapes and items in the classroom, as well as making up patterns for our friends to solve
- Reading and Visualising : we have been studying visualising when we read, as well as reading Indigenous stories such as ‘The Rainbow Serpent’
- Connected Learning : Building a Culture of Respect. This week, we were lucky enough to go on an excursion to CERES in Brunswick and discover how the Indigenous Australians show respect to the land. We listened and acted out the story of ‘Tiddilick’ (with amazing costumes!) which built on our reading topic, heard about cave paintings and the ochre used to paint them and got to taste native Australian ingredients.
- Lola (1A) said “I liked feeling the possum skin”, Max (1A) said “I loved when we painted on ourselves with ochre”. Myrah (1B) said “I liked dressing up in the costumes”. James (1B) said “I liked painting ourselves with ochre”. Millie (1C) said “It was really fun painting ourselves”. Kareem (1C) “I loved the face painting because it looked cool”.
