Year One Team News
with Steph and Emma
Hello Year One families,
It’s hard to believe we’re heading into the final weeks of Term 2 and already halfway through the school year!
Another big thank you to all the parent helpers that have come in on a Tuesday or Thursday to support our students with their reading. The kids have had a wonderful time being able to read with you all. We are planning on continuing this program throughout next term. So keep your eyes out early next term for more information.
Student Learning Conferences
Just a friendly reminder that Student Learning Conferences are taking place Tuesday the 24th of June between 1-7pm. Students will be dismissed from school at 12.30pm. We look forward to seeing you then.
Year 1 Planning Day
Wednesday the 25th of June is our scheduled Planning Day. On this day the Year One students will enjoy specialist classes for the day, which they are looking forward to. They will not have specialists on any other day in the final week of Term 2.
Curriculum Focus: Week 9 and 10.
Reading:During week 9 we are learning the sound /ou/ (as in cow and ouch). In the final week of term 2 we will be revising all the sounds we have learnt this term.
Writing: For the remainder of the term students will continue to publish their narratives and information reports. We will also have a greater focus on handwriting and the correct letter formation.
Numeracy: We will be revising all topics we have covered this term. These include, place value, location, time and space.
Inquiry: The students will finish publishing their information report. They cannot wait to share their interesting facts about quokkas with you.
Willy Kids/Respectful Relationships: Our Willy Kids focus is “Wily Kids Value the Rights of Others”. Willy Kids know that Everyone has the right to learn, to be safe, to be respected, to be cared for, and to be who they are. In Respectful Relationships we are learning to respect and value differences.
Warm regards,
The Grade One Team – Steph Keswick (1K) & Emma Chang-Kum (1C)
