YEAR 1

Since the last newsletter was submitted the Grade 1’s worked hard on their “special place project” and below are a few photos of their hard work.

In science we are learning about living things. We know that living things need water (Ahmed E) to drink ( Madhi) they need oxygen (Ayla) to breathe (Aleena) they eat (Mahnoor) they make the food into energy (Ajwa) they have babies, they move (Dua).

On Tuesday we went on a schoolyard safari. Below are some of the living things we observed on our safari;

• David (Narges)
• Trees (Ahmad. A)
• Grass (Mahnoor)
• People(Ayla)
• Bird ( Mohammed)
• Flowers(Ajwa)
• Mahdi ( Reza)
• Jasmine( Dua)
• Leaves (Mahnoor)
• Kids(Ayesha)
• Humans ( Fatima)
• Birds that were flying (Dua)
• Chickens (Mahnoor)

In maths we have spent time exploring addition, arrays, fractions the student have consolidated their understanding though the use of hands on materials and art tasks.

As part of the writing program Grade 1’s are learning about the structure of procedural texts. They are also experimenting with using time connectives to move the text along i.e. then, when after etc.

Reminders;

• Readers need to come to school every day. If you don’t have and would like a blue reader bag let me know have a small number available for $10 each.
• We are down to 4 tissue boxes in the classroom. If you have not already, please send in 2 full tissue boxes to school. If you have we would appreciate if you could supply us with one more box during the cold and flu season of the year.
• I am always happy to chat to families about their child and make a plan on how best to assist your child. Feel free to contact the school and we can make a time that suits all of us.
