Grade 1

Grade One Reading and Writing 

This term, Grade One students have been learning about how the Earth's resources allow us to grow plants and farm animals to produce the foods we eat. This learning links to our Curiosity topic, How can we care for the Earth?, as students explore how we use the Earth's natural resources in our everyday lives. Students investigated how everyday food products, including cheese, bread, apple juice and chocolate chips are made. During Reading, students learnt about the different steps involved in making each product and illustrated the process. In Writing, students have been developing their sentence writing skills by writing sentences to describe how each product is made.
