Mathematics

During this term in Numeracy, the Year One Classes have been working on various concepts including time, place value, money and numerical operations. We have seen such fantastic progress and students overcoming challenges within this time; every Year One student should be proud of their achievements. 

Over the last few weeks, the Year One students have been exploring groups of and basic multiplication. Both 1A and 1B have been learning different strategies to multiply and divide groups of objects. The students have been doing really well in these areas and starting to extend their knowledge by attempting more challenging questions!

The Year One Classes have been working in diverse ways in the classroom including working independently, working with a partner, group tasks and small group work with their teacher. In the Year One classrooms we will continue hold discussions around mathematics goals for each student to include their voice in the outcomes of their efforts.

In Measurement and Geometry, students have been revising time and challenging themselves to concepts regarding elapsed time. Both 1A and 1B have been applying their prior knowledge to extend their understanding in this area.

BOOK WEEK

On Thursday the 24th August we had our book week dress up day. The student's costumes were fantastic!

Thank you for an amazing Term 3 everyone! The students have worked very hard this term and we look forward to another very busy Term 4 ahead!

Take Home Readers

 Each week, your child will be provided with one hard copy reader to read for the week. We ask that the book is read 2-3 times per week and is logged into your child’s reading diary.

If you would like to read an extra book for the week, your child may login to the MultiLit eLibrary using an electronic device. The eLibrary uses a browser-based platform, so books can be read on desktop computers or mobile devices (including smartphones and tablets). You will find the link to this website and your child’s login details at the front of their reading diary. Alternatively, your child may choose to read a ‘good fit’ book of their choice instead.

Your child’s reading diary and book needs to be brought back to school every Friday morning to be checked and swapped over by your child’s classroom teacher. We kindly ask that all books are taken care of and returned in good condition every Friday.
