1M has been a very busy classroom so far this year learning lots of new and exciting things. We have so many favourite activities to do in 1M such as spelling, taking home Jo Bear, Italian and Music, just to name a few of our favourites.

 

 

 

 

In English we have been practising and learning how to write recounts. We enjoy writing recounts about what we did on the weekend, events and activities that happen at school and about our first excursion of the year to the performance of The Adventures of Snugglepot and Cuddlepie. K-2 went to see the performance as a culmination to the terms author study on May Gibbs. Also in our English lessons we have also been learning to write acrostic, catalogue and cinquain poems which have linked in with our HSIE unit of "Celebrations." We have learnt about and covered a variety of Celebrations such birthdays, traditional weddings, Australia Day, Shrove Tuesday, St Patrick's Day, Holi and Aboriginal Celebrations. Our favourite was Shrove Tuesday when we made pancakes in the classroom.

In Maths, we have been especially busy. We have measured almost everything in the classroom with either our hands or paddle pop sticks. We have learnt the friends of ten and have painted beautiful rainbows to help us remember the friends of ten. We are also learning to tell the time on the hour with o'clock. Ms Moloney has taught us two songs to help us learn the days of the week and the months of the year! Lastly in maths we have been practising our adding, counting on and counting back for subtraction.

We have been very creative in Art. We have used crayons to draw pictures of ourselves, water paint to depict a birthday celebration, poster paint for painting leprechauns and magazines to collage our colour poems and months of the year.

As part of the PD/H/PE program, we do sport twice a week with the other Year One class. This term we have been improving our kicking, dribbling, throwing and catching skills. We have Munch and Crunch twice a week on Tuesday and Friday. We eat, play games and talk about healthy foods such as fruit and vegetables.

Term One has been fantastic and we have all settled in well to our class!!!
