Year 1 Update
Hillsmeade Primary School
In Year 1, students have been demonstrating their knowledge of skills developed in all curriculum areas. They have reflected on their learning and been given opportunities to share what they have learnt by writing their own Narratives, recall different sounds and spelling choices and have developed skills in skip counting. This has given teachers the chance to gather data to help prepare for Semester 1 reports. We are so proud of our Year 1 students showing a growth mindset and developing new skills to enhance their learning!
