Year 1 Update

Our Learning -Term 4, Weeks 3 & 4

Year 1 students will be undertaking learning in the following areas over the next 2 weeks:

Reading	Students continue to engage in literacy activities using the Little Learners Love Literacy program. We are revising the sounds we learnt last term as well as the sound 'le', contractions, homonyms and homophones. The students will also be completing reading assessments with their teachers.
Writing	Our writing is persuasive, learning about using strong words and forming strong opinions through cause and effect. The students will also be able to choose their own genre for a piece of writing in their free writing session.
Maths	Students are exploring time, learning about analogue and digital clocks, reading the time on both types of clocks, and showing half past, o'clock and quarter past and to.
Inquiry	Students are enjoying learning about the farm-to-fork topic. They will be exploring dairy products, making butter from cream, and looking at crops and wheat products, making damper to learn more about it.
SEL	Students are engaging in learning activities about the importance of keeping our hands to ourselves, and the dobbing vs tattling.
