Hi Families,

In history we have been looking at the past, present and future. We have explored how the world has changed around us from 100 years ago to now.

Next Monday we are going to begin exploring the change in toys over time. We ask that each student brings 1 toy from home that has a significant meaning to them. This toy can be a toy from the past or may be a new toy that they have just received.
All toys will be given to the classroom teacher in the morning to ensure they are safe and will only be brought out during the history lesson.

The children will be sharing their toy with the class by answering the questions below. You may want to have a conversation with your child using these questions to support their readiness.

Have a lovely weekend.

Thanks,

Emily and Claudia.

Good Afternoon Families,

We have two very exciting school events taking place in the next few weeks.

On Friday the 26th of August from 5:30-7:00pm we will be having our school disco in the Hall.

On Friday the 30th September from 1:30-3:00pm our school will be partaking in their first colour run on the oval.

We hope to see the children partake in both events.

Kind Regards,

Emily

Good Afternoon,

This term in Maths we are learning about clocks and how to tell the time.

This week we have been learning how to read ‘O’clock’ times using analogue clocks. Have a look at us making many different times. We are getting pretty good at it!

Hi families,

Today we were lucky enough to have Mr McCarthy in our room. He took us on an adventure to explore the Fish Farm and the Mudla. We observed the various different animals and also got to feed the Barramundi.

Have a look at the pictures we took!

Dear families,

This Friday 27th of May, children are asked to bring in a can of food – this could be a can of soup, a can of vegetables or a can of any other non-perishable goods.  These will be donated to Fred’s Van, a local volunteer service that provides meals to those less fortunate through the St Vincent de Paul Society.

This is a lead up to Mission Week which will be held in Week 5 (next week). Just a reminder that we are still collecting bottle lids.

Kind regards,

Miss Zurcher and Miss Jackson

Good Afternoon,

Some of you may have already noticed but the students will be coming home with the little black books pictured below. These books contain ‘high frequency words’ that we are learning as part of our word study. We ask that the children practise these as part of their nightly reading routine where possible.

We are aiming to check in with the children once a week to check off the words they know. Once they are all learn’t the list will be signed off and a new list will be glued in.

Hope you are all well.

Kind Regards,

Claudia and Emily

Good Morning 1EJ and 1 CZ!

Today is Ash Wednesday, which signifies the first day of Lent.

 Below are a few more activities if children want to do some learning at home. Looking forward to seeing you all back in the classroom soon.

Phonics & Writing

Today’s sound of the day is the /o/ sound. Watch the video below and have a go at singing along and practising the action:

You may like to practice writing a row of lowercase (o) and upper case (O). See if you can think and record any words that contain  the /o/ sound.

Try completing our interactive writing sentence for the day.

‘Obie the old octopus was feeling sad because…’

Numeracy

Use the picture below to remind you what our MAB blocks look like in the classroom:

If you’re feeling up to it, choose a number between 11 and 99. Write the digit and written word for this number in your book. Then have a go at drawing the number using MAB blocks.

HASS

Look around your house or even outside and write a list of things that you can see.  Have a go at identifying which items are natural, managed and which are constructed.
Use the pictures above to help you!

Hello 1EJ and 1 CZ and welcome to Week 5!

We hope you are all taking care and staying well. Below are a few more activities if children are wanting something to do some learning at home. Once again, there is no pressure for anything to be completed as your health is our main priority.

Reading

This weeks reading strategy is ‘Lips the fish’ When you get stuck, say the first few sounds. Read to the end of the sentence and then read the sentence again. Try using this strategy if you get stuck.
See if you can read at least 2 books a day and record your reading in your Reading Diary so we can celebrate your progress when you are back in the classroom.

Phonics & Writing

Today’s sound of the day is the /D/ sound. Watch this video to learn more about the /d/ sound. Practise the action as you sing along:

You may like to practice writing a row of lowercase (d) and upper case (D). See if you can think and record any words that contain  the /d/ sound.

‘Danny the dingo went dancing with…’

Numeracy

Draw and cut out the shape of a cloud using any size paper you have at home. Choose a teen number and write this number in the middle of your cloud. Have a go at making a paper chain, as shown below representing the tens & ones.
Connect the chains to a cloud so it looks like rain.

Take a break!

Take a break and enjoy some time outside in the sunshine! Kick a ball, run some laps or even have a go at one or more of the yoga poses below:

Good Morning everyone,

Happy Thursday!

Good Morning 1EJ and 1CZ,

Below are a few more activities if children are wanting something to do at home. Once again, there is no pressure for anything to be completed as your health is our main priority.

Reading

In our classroom we read each and every day. This is something that we hope every child is also doing at home. If your child reads a book today, we ask that they try and tell you what their favourite part of the book was and why. Don’t forget to remind children to record their reading in their home reading diary.

Phonics & Writing
