Hi Year 1 families,  

This week in our health unit we have started to explore what identity is and how our unique strengths and qualities combine to create our own identity. We read the book ‘Be who you are’ by Todd Parr and looked at the different aspects that combine to create our identity. We started our identity posters by drawing a picture of ourselves. This will be added to over the next few weeks to complete a poster of our individual identity, strengths, and qualities. 

In maths this week we have been learning how to partition numbers up to 20. We have learnt that we can use many number combinations to make 20. We have also started learning about place value using tens and ones to represent numbers up to 99.   

In science we have continued our exploration of sound and light through musical instruments, items students have brought from home, and feeling the vibrations that sound makes through balloons.  

In literacy we are continuing to learn about reading and writing with daily lessons on the sounds letters make and how to put the sounds and letters together to create words and simple sentences.  

Reminder, 

Library day is Wednesday. 

PE is Thursday. 

Homework day is Monday. 

Have a wonderful week, Mrs Hamilton.
