Week 8

Week 8 sure was a busy one! We had Harmony Day AND Easter...so exciting!

On Wednesday we celebrated Harmony Day. Thank you to all the parents who helped their children dress up for the occasion. We began the day with a parade in the undercover area. Once we returned to class we wrote a recount together. I was amazed to see how many aspects the children listed in our 'Selection Criteria' phase. Amazing!




















Thursday we got busy making our Easter presents for us and our buddy class. In the afternoon we met up with our buddies to deliver their Chocolate Nests and make baskets together. We had a great time with Mr Petch and Room 17. We typed up the recipe and have included it below.










Star of the Week

Week 6 and 7

Well hasn't that time flown by? We have been so busy learning everything Year One...ruling up, working in collaborative teams, setting goals, Literacy Blocks, Warm Ups, PR1ME and History. Phew! Makes me tired and very proud just typing it all :)

Happy Leap Year! 
Every morning we review and update our calendar, sing the months of the year and discuss how many days are in each month. The children were so excited on the 29th of February because they knew this day would not come again for 4 years! We made little time capsules and sealed them in envelopes with a note that said, 'DO NOT OPEN UNTIL 2020'. We discussed how old we would be and what year we would be in. So much excitement!


 


Star of the Week
 We have begun an exciting new 'celebration' called Star of the Week. Each week we use our random selector tool on the iPad to choose a 'Star'. This chosen person is then interviewed based on the same questions. Then Mrs C makes a poster for our window. We LOVE it!






English

Thank you so much for your support with our 'Talk Homework' the vocabulary and discussions the children have as a result of these discussions at home are invaluable to their knowledge and application of high level vocabulary. Truly amazing!





 

PR1ME Maths

Our Maths books have arrived and we have been busy getting them started and we are so excited everytime we see PR1ME on our daily schedule. So far we have reviewed some Pre-Primary concepts such as more and less and one-to-one correspondence. We have started looking at number bonds from 5 to 10. Below you will find a link for a bonds to 10 song that we LOVE!!
