It has been lovely to welcome the Year 1 students back to school after the holidays. They have all settled well back into their classroom routines and have been very engaged in their learning. In Week One, we farewelled Miss Cath from 1C and welcomed Ms. Coco. 1C have adapted beautifully to their change of teacher.
So far this term the Year 1 students have been:
- learning about the different ways to spell the long vowel e and the long vowel o
- looking at character traits, story settings and story retells during reading
- practicing fluency with their fluency buddy
- writing a narrative that we will edit and publish
- writing fractured fairytales
- learning about length: ordering items from longest to shortest and practicing measuring objects using informal units
- making 2 digit numbers using concrete materials and learning to trade sticks for bundles
- Using a hundreds chart to identify numbers before and after a target number
- immersing themselves in our new Connected unit for the term - Perspective - Through Generations
- Commemorating ANZAC day through biscuit making
