Year One/Two News 

This week, Year 1 and 2 students have been learning about location and how to give directions. They have learnt about location words such as front, back, behind, beside, left, right, over and under. 

To help students practice giving directions, they have been playing a game called 'Driving around town'. As part of the game, students need to give their partner directions on how to move their car from one place to another. Students have spoken about how it is important to be clear in your directions - for example, move forward 3 spaces rather than just saying move forward. Students also learnt about features of a map such as a key. It was a fun, hands-on and engaging way to begin our learning about location and direction.
