Hello to our wonderful parent and student community of 1SA and 1PN. Bet you’ve been wondering what we’ve been up to this week. Well… take a look!

This week during word study we have focused on the letters p, i and n as well as the sight words ‘a’ and ‘that’. Here are some students from 1SA practising and investigating the sound /Ii/.

For book making we have focused on creating a detailed front cover that includes a tile, picture and our name. We noticed that authors often put their main character on the front cover and sometimes even the setting! Take a sneak peak of some of our front covers created during Writer’s Workshop.

We have also continued working on our number formation and subitising during Mathematics. This clever skill of subitising is when  you are able to look at a group of objects and realise how many there are without counting. You can practise at home too with this subitising song!

This week we also celebrated important events on the liturgical calendar; Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday. For Shrove Tuesday, also known as ‘Pancake Day’, we shared some delicious pancakes together and on Wednesday we celebrated with a whole school mass to mark the beginning of Lent.

 

Technologies- For food technologies last week, the students made a list of foods that they like the taste of, and foods that they don’t like the taste of.

This week, the students had to label the foods that they drew as ‘everyday’ foods and ‘sometimes’ foods. Here is what they came up with:
