Semester 1
Take a look inside our classroom and see what we've been doing!
Science and Technology
During Term 1, we learnt about different materials and how they react when mixed with other materials. We also learnt how different materials can change their shape by bending, twisting or pulling. During Term 2, we learnt about digital technology and how they work. They used the probots and the coding website Scratch to create and use a sequence of steps.
Creative Arts
In Term 1, we learnt to paint and draw in the style of minimalism and conceptual artist Sol Lewitt and in Term 2, we made self portraits of ourselves in several different styles!
Mathematics
In Mathematics, 1D have learnt several subjects and been involved in many hands on activities that developed our mathematical problem solving skills!
English
1D has made good progress in reading, writing and speaking this semester. We have written many interesting pieces of writing, read several books independently and had interesting class discussions based on quality literature.
PDHPE
For PDHPE this semester, we have been developing our fundamental movement skills through engaging rotations run by all Year 1 and 2 teachers. We've learned about making healthy choices and being safe in all places.In Fitness, we've learned yoga and even made stress balls to manage our emotions.
School Events and Other Activities
National Simultaneous Storytime
For National Simultaneous Storytime, we read the story "Alpacas with Maracas" by Matt Cosgrove at the same time as everyone else in the country! We then made maracas and did a flash mob where we danced with our maracas to the song "Cha Cha Slide".
Healthy Harold
Healthy Harold came to visit us and taught us how to make safer and healthier choices. We had so much fun and really enjoyed participating in learning with Harold!
NRL Clinic
1D were lucky enough to have a Parramatta Eels player come in and teach us how to play NRL. We really enjoyed passing the ball around and playing 'Sleepy Head'.
Easter Hat Parade
This year, we made our own Easter hats for the Easter hat parade with the help of our buddy class, 4A! We loved creating them and then wearing them to the parade.
