Learning in Year 1
Year 1 have been very busy during Term 1! We have been reading and viewing digital texts with a focus on the characters in the story. We have been focusing on what the characters look like and how they feel and act. We have created lists that describe the characters and from the list we have written sentences that start with a capital letter and end with a full stop.
Some of our favourite characters are –
. Yirrikipayi from No Way Yirrikipai!
. The Gruffalo and mouse from The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson
. Elmer from Elmer The Patchwork Elephant by David McKee and
. Pig and Trevor from Pig The Pug by Aaron Blabey
We have also been learning about Lent and the Year 6 students came to our classroom to tell us about Project Compassion and how we can help others.
We love going to Music with Mrs McCabe and we love going to PE with Mrs Olima.
We loved it when our buddies came to visit us!
Life is great in Year 1 and we love learning new things!
In English we have been learning about the structure of stories through books such as 'The Rainbow Fish' and some Dreamtime stories like 'Tiddalick the Greedy Frog' and 'How the Bird got their Colours'. The students have been exploring the characters of the stories through drama and art.
In Maths, the children have been working hard to understand how to use the jump strategy to complete addition and subtraction questions.
Science has seen the children learning about the different states of matter and how matter can change when heated, cooled or mixed. We had a great time making pancakes, using solid and liquid ingredients to create a yummy treat.
