Year 1 & 2

This fortnight in Literacy lessons students have been reading information texts and learning about the structure of an information text. Students have been learning about the ‘bossy e’ in UFLI lessons. In Writing lessons, students have been researching an Australian animal and displaying their information on a Google Slide. 

In Maths lessons students have been using various tools such as number lines, unifix blocks and hundreds charts to solve subtraction problems. Students have solved worded subtraction problems with a partner. For Friday Maths students have drawn treasure maps and marked X as the spot they have hidden ‘treasure’ in the classroom, for a classmate to find. 

For Wellbeing lessons, students have participated in teambuilding exercises. Students have been considering the different ways a problem can be solved, and how a resolution can be agreed on. 

For Integrated Studies lessons students have been learning about the history of the telephone, and where to put pictures of phones from the 1990s and 2000s on their personal timeline. 

The Year 1 students were very excited to have their mums in for afternoon tea on the Friday before Mothers Day. They had scones with jam and cream. The students loved showing them around their classrooms.
