Connect: Year 1
It has been a fantastic term in Grade One! We cannot believe the holidays are almost here again and we look forward to meeting with you next week. There has been so much growth occurring in every classroom and students should be proud of all they have achieved. As the weather gets colder we hope you have a warm, safe and happy holidays.

REMINDERS
- As it is very wet and muddy at the moment please pack a spare change of clothes and socks in a plastic bag in case of any slips or falls.
- Learning starts promptly after the bell. Please take/remind your child to use the toilet before the 8:45 bell so nothing is missed and they have a chance to settle in for the day.
SWIMMING
- Further information on swimming will be sent out at the beginning of Term 3. In the mean time you may like to organise swimwear, towel and sandals over the holidays.
Celebration of learning
Little Learners
This fortnight we have been practicing 'oo' as in 'boo the goose' and 'le' as in 'a little poodle'. Next week we will be introducing the phoneme 'ow' as in 'brown cow' and 'ou' as in 'ouch'. We have been so impressed this term as students have learnt and revised a wide range of graphemes.
1B celebrated learning 'oo' by creating colourful balloon dogs.
Writing
Students have been practicing writing engaging sentences by including when, who, did what, where and why. When generating ideas and including becausein their writing, students have shown off their creativity.
A highlight this term has been exploring Ancient Egypt through our writing unit. Grade one worked together create an Ancient Egypt learning wall to showcase their knowledge. Pop by and take a look to learn about Pharos, the Nile river, pyramids and more!
Numeracy
It has been a jam packed term in maths! Students have settled into maths routines, with daily review giving them an opportunity to keep prior leaning fresh. They have worked hard to deepen place value knowledge, along with lots of hands on activities exploring length, mass and capacity. Its been a joy to watch students explore the maths can be found all around them.
