PLT Spotlight

The Year Ones have had a wonderful start to 2023!  We have settled into school routines, and we are all enjoying our new classes.  We began the term with some Clyde Community activities that allowed students to get to know their new classmates and new surroundings.  We have been reminding ourselves of making positive behaviour choices and earning tokens through our School Wide Positive Behaviour Support program. 

In Reading we have been practising our reading strategies and we have been learning about parts of a sentence.  We know that a sentence has a Who and a What and that they all start with a capital letter and end in a full stop, question mark or an exclamation mark! 

We have also begun completing some language experiences to extend our vocabulary. This has allowed us to explore describing words and we have started using these new words in our writing!  Our Writer’s Notebooks have started to fill up as we have been creating seeds and recording our ideas around them. 

The Year One’s have also been learning about biological science during Inquiry time.  We recently went on a walk around our school to discover what was living and what was non-living in our environment. 

Thank you for all your support so far this year.  The Year One’s have sent diaries home and we have loved seeing so many children read each night using their take-home readers. Remember, your child needs to bring their reader, book bag and diary every day so they can change their reader and so their teacher can check how many nights of reading have been completed. 

Thank you, 

Miss Naughton, Ms Presswell, Miss Bowler, and Mrs B.
