Maths with Pevan and Sarah

This term we have introduced the online interactive program Pevan and Sarah during our Maths learning time in Year One. The program compliments our Maths activities and creates positive memories through music and dance to engage the students and support a wide variety of learning.

Cyber Safety

The Year One students have loved utilising these resources during their Maths classes which complements our learning focus, incorporating whole body movement and engagement.

Place Value

This term, the Year One students have been learning about place value. Place value is the numerical value of a digit based on its position within a number. When taught in Year One, place value is taught up to hundreds.

The students have had a wonderful time working with MAB and discovering the difference between ones, tens, hundreds and even thousands! We have been learning the concept of smaller and larger numbers through games such as ‘greater than’ utilising our Maths packs, write and wipe boards and dice.

Inquiry / Science

The Year One students were lucky enough to be involved in three Science lessons over the past month. Mrs Graham, Science Teacher, engaged the children in weather experiments to culminate the end of our Unit Of Inquiry, 'Weather Affects Our Lives & Environment'.
