Classroom News - Year 1

Maths

In Year 1 we are continuing with our Number and Algebra unit. We are working on different strategies such as adding on, counting on a number line, finding the difference and counting back. We are also working with Volume and Capacity.

English

We are well into our InitiaLit lessons and have completed our first two Big Writes. Breakdown buddies are in the initial stages and the students continue to gain confidence when giving and receiving feedback. We have been working on learning Kung Fu punctuation.

Creative Arts

We have been working on beautiful artworks with swimmers and sunflowers for the artshow.

Religion

Next week we are going on a visit to the Cathedral to see the Baptismal Font. Fr Paul will meet us there to talk to us about the Sacrament of Baptism. If you have any photos of your child's baptism that you are happy for us to display in our classroom please send them in with your child's name on the back. It would be great to share the story of your child's baptism with them over the next couple of weeks.
