Level 1

Writing

The Level 1 students have been doing a wonderful job of developing their skills with writing. When writing a recount, they have been applying new and interesting words by using adjectives, synonyms, and sequencing words. We have explored the book ‘Wombat Stew’ and even created our own version. Using our new vocabulary, we have applied this to creating a recount of our experience and are now working towards creating a procedure.

Numeracy

We have had a lot of fun during our Numeracy sessions. We are learning to use hands-on materials to make numbers, partition, rename numbers and find patterns. An exciting task that we participated in was ‘Place Value Zoo’. We were able to use our imaginations to build an animal out of MAB blocks and then found out how much our animal was worth.

Inquiry

Our Inquiry topic this term is called, ‘Through Generations’. We have been learning about the past, present and future. We have explored some games that were played in the past and even got to have a go ourselves. These games included hopscotch, marbles, Tiddlywinks and using tin cans for bowling. It was a lot of fun!
