Hi Families,

This term in Science we are looking at Biological Science. We have been focusing on living and non-living things.

This week we spent an exciting  lesson in the MUDLA searching for living and non-living things.

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 families,

Welcome to Term 2!  We hope you all had a relaxing break, it has been a busy start to the term. We are looking forward to an exciting term, with lots of events  coming up in the next few weeks.

In Week 4 we have our assembly. Due to covid this will be a recorded Assembly, it will be uploaded by Friday 27th of May for families to view.

Week 5 is Mission Week. On Friday 3rd of June students will be selling games and items to raise money for charity. Our class will be creating ‘Noughts and Crosses’. For this game we need to collect milk bottle caps. If you could please bring in any milk bottle caps you have at home, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Emily & Claudia

Dear Families,

Thank you for a great term 1.

We hope you stay safe over the holidays & have a happy Easter!

See you next term on the 3rd of May.

This week in 1CZ & 1EJ we have been exploring patterns.

http://https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQ9q4U2P3ig

We learnt that there are many different types of patterns including; shape, colour, size, number, letter, object and movement.

We created our own patterns using different objects in the classroom.

Today we enjoyed a day of cultural celebrations for Harmony Day.

The students learnt about how all Australians equally belong and enrich this nation. We discussed our own cultural background and created a collaborative class poster to display the theme of Harmony Day – ‘Everyone Belongs’.

Hi Families,

Next week on Monday the 21st of March it is Harmony Day.

Harmony Day is a day to celebrate Australia’s diversity. The theme for Harmony Day is ‘everyone belongs’.

To celebrate Harmony Day students are welcome to wear the colour orange or traditional cultural clothing on Monday. The canteen is also having a $5.00 special of pumpkin soup, roll and orange jelly.

This week in 1EJ & 1CZ we have been learning about the importance of Harmony Day. We created our own posters showing how we help others belong.

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!
