Japanese

Students will revisit words for greeting each other and the teacher in Japanese. Students will actively engage in using Japanese throughout the lesson. This will include responding with a greeting during the marking of the roll and singing songs. Simple language games will develop understanding and recall of Japanese sounds, words and phrases. We will also explore the hiragana script through creating an Easter decoration labeled with a greeting.

Digital Technologies

Students this term will be using the Sphero indi to learn about sequences. They will work together to create paths and maps, using color-coded instructions to get their robot from start to finish. This helps them practice giving clear instructions and fixing mistakes in their "code" when the robot doesn't go where they expected.

Art

Students will engage in Visual Arts by exploring the elements of line, shape and colour. They will use these to begin creating drawings of different things, including a self portrait. The students will be inspired by the work of Frida Kahlo, Van Gogh and Matisse, amongst others. In the art space, the students will get to know the different types of equipment we can use, and how these can be used safely and sustainably.

Physical Education

In Term 1, students will focus on building their prior knowledge to further develop their fundamental movement skills. They will also start to develop thinking around strategies and tactics whilst showing Respect, Safety and Resilience in the PE environment. Students will be explicitly taught how to follow rules and the expectations of each activity.
