Year F &1

This week in our Mem Fox journey we have read the story ‘Our Dragon’. It has been a great story which has also included some rhyming words and the students have really started to notice them. The students have focused on writing sentences to describe the character and setting. They had to play close attention to the story as it wasn’t mentioned where it was set so we had to use the pictures to help them discover where the characters were. 

In writing this week we have been working on poems. We have been focusing on colours and thinking of different words that rhyme. The students were very creative and then we worked on putting it all into sentences. The students imaginations were amazing and it was great hearing some of their ideas. 

In maths the preps learnt a couple of new games called Subtraction Smash and Teddy Bear Sums. They were great hands on activities for the students to enjoy in relation to subtraction. The Year 1’s also learnt a new game called Kaboom and they had great fun practicing their addition and subtraction in a fun game. The noise they were making showed they really enjoyed it!
