What a jam packed fortnight!
Year 1 has continued to be busy, busy, busy and the students have been working super hard. The highlight was probably our Connected Learning incursion from ‘Supreme Incursions’. Emma came to visit us to run their ‘Brickworks Incursion’. In this incursion, we worked collaboratively in groups to plan and build a shelter out of Lego that could withstand ‘rain’ (blue Lego) and a wind storm (Emma waving a large lid at our structure!). It was super fun and we were so impressed with the way the students worked together and created amazing structures.
In SMILE we sat in a double circle and had short discussions with people we knew but weren’t close friends with. We brainstormed questions we could ask people to get to know them and then follow up questions to get more information. After 2 minutes, we rotated and sat with the person next to them and met another new friend.
In Reading, we read non-fiction texts on robots and answered questions and pulled out any tricky words we found.
In Writing, we continued with our Narrative writing, using a picture prompt to create a story with characters, a setting, problem and solution.
In Maths, we focussed on Additive thinking. This includes recalling our doubles and near doubles, which helps us with our number facts.
Can’t wait to see what is to come in the next 2 weeks!
