Year 1 Update

Upcoming Learning -Term 3, Weeks 8 & 9

During the next fortnight, Year 1 students will be undertaking learning in the following areas:

The students will also be completing reading assessments with their teachers.

They will explore how to use adjectives to create emotions in stories, and to help visualise what is happening. They continue to work on their handwriting daily using the Hartley Program.
Maths	Students are exploring Subtraction through hands-on learning and engaging in Top Ten Subtraction activities. Students will begin investigating Fractions and what a half is. They are working on writing numbers correctly, making sure they are not reversing them.
Inquiry	Students are expanding their knowledge of Sustainability and learning about the 3R's - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. They will learn about the impacts of not looking after our Earth, and participating in activities around Dr Suess's Lorax story.
