Hi all,

Just a reminder that this Thursday is a whole school casual day. We ask that students who wear casual clothes bring a donation of either a bag of chocolates or lollies. These donations will be used to support the schools Market Day. Students are still more than welcome to wear their school uniform on this day.

Thankyou,

Emily and Irene

Welcome back to another busy week in Year 1!

This week in Literacy we revised our letter sounds and names. We learnt how to spell some more tricky words ( was, you, very) and we added sounds to the beginning of words to make new words. We also introduced the digraphs – ll, ss, ff and zz. When we see two letters that are the same at the end of a word, the two letters together say just one sound. We also revisited our vowels again and revised the digraphs ‘ck’, ‘sh’ and ‘wh’ in words.

The take home learning books have been placed in your child’s library bag. Please ensure this is kept in the library bag and returned to school daily. On Thursdays, we will put in extra sheets for the children to complete in the following week. A designated basket labelled ‘Home Learning Books’ has been placed in the classroom for the children to put their home learning books in on Thursday. Please encourage your child to do this.

In Numeracy, we explored using the correct formation and accurate spelling of the numbers 5, 6, 7 and 8. The children also explored concepts like subsisting, adding smaller numbers and counting collections of objects.

In Science, we have been investigating Weather. This week we watched a weather report and had a go at drawing the different weather symbols. The children enjoyed talking about the hot weather we had this week!

Have a wonderful weekend! We look forward to seeing the children on Monday

Dear families and caregivers,

Welcome to the 2024 school year.

It has been a great start! We have had the pleasure of meeting some of you throughout the week so far. We have also loved meeting and getting to know your children too. We look forward to working with you all across the year to support your children. Here are some pictures of a few things we got up too through the week.
