Spotlight on Learning- Year 1
Year 1 students have been really busy learning how to use a device for remote learning. We thank our parent community for assisting and making it happen. Our students have thoroughly enjoyed the Google Meet tool to catch up with their classmates and do a fun activity with their teacher. We all can't wait to see everyone back face to face.
Literacy
Writing- This term we have been learning about what makes a great sentence and recounting an event. Sentences begin with a capital letter, have finger spaces between words, and end with the correct punctuation. Recounting an event has a title, an introduction and sequence of events. We learnt that when we read our writing it also needs to make sense.
Spelling- This term in spelling we are learning about how letter sounds can be represented in multiple ways. Our current letter sound is ‘j’ which can be made by using ‘j’, ‘g’, ‘dge’ and other letter patterns’. We have been finding and making words that match the letter sounds in books and around our home environment.
Numeracy
Number- This term we are focusing on addition and subtraction. We have explored the counting on strategy and gathering collections of objects.
Strand- This term we have been investigating time. We have looked at clockwise, anticlockwise and telling time on the hour using o’clock.
