Grade 1 News
What a wonderful and busy couple of weeks in Grade 1!
A huge well done to all of our students for a big week of swimming last week! The students did a fantastic job, and we are so proud of their efforts, enthusiasm and willingness to give things a go. We hope they enjoyed the experience and feel proud of all they achieved.
Maths
In Maths, we have been learning about Time. The students have been enjoying exploring days, weeks, months and years, developing their understanding of how we measure and organise time. We have also begun exploring some aspects of reading and understanding clocks. You can support this learning at home by talking about the days of the week, discussing special dates and looking at clocks together.
Literacy
In Literacy, we have been exploring persuasive texts. The students have been learning how authors use different language devices to persuade a reader and convince them to agree with an opinion. They have been practising using persuasive language in their own writing, sharing their opinions and providing reasons to support their ideas. It has been wonderful to see their creativity and confidence grow as they develop their persuasive writing skills.
A reminder that reading diaries must be brought to school every day. Daily reading plays an important role in your child's learning, helping to develop reading fluency, comprehension, vocabulary and confidence. Thank you for your continued support in encouraging regular reading at home and ensuring reading diaries are brought to school each day. We truly appreciate your efforts in supporting your child's learning.
We look forward to another fantastic couple of weeks of learning together in Grade 1!
