Year 1 are having a blast. We are showing we can be great learners by following our school rules and being wonderful friends in and out of the classroom. In our Religion lessons we have been looking at God’s creations. We are understanding that humans were put on the earth last so we could take care of all living things and show love and respect to those living things. By the end of the term students will be asked to create a contract on what their responsibilities are and why, when it comes to protecting God’s creation.  

During our English lessons we have been practicing writing on the red and blue lines. Our letter formation was great to start with and is looking fantastic on the lines. It is super tricky but we are excited to keep practicing. We are also getting super clever at decoding our cvc words and are building more confidence decoding our cvcc words. This week we are going to try writing a few sentences about Emus. Keep a look out for our fantastic informative texts.  

Our Math lessons have been all about numbers. We are practicing counting up and back, skip counting in 2’s, 5’s and 10’s as well as the numbers that come before and after a number. This past couple of weeks we have been learning about numbers on a number line and numbers that are missing on a number board. We will be continue to practice grouping numbers so that each group gets an equal share (division).  

With the beginning of Lent we have chosen a promise we would like to try and keep and are counting down the days until Christ has risen or as some of us know, Easter Sunday. We will continue to have conversations around help those in need through Project Compassion and other ways in and around our school for our friends.  

These past 5 weeks we have also celebrated 3 birthdays in Year 1. Happy Birthday to Jhett, Stella and Cooper. We can’t wait to celebrate our March babies.  

There are many important days coming up. Don’t forget to check Facebook, Seesaw and your emails.
