Hi everyone,
Hope all you mums had a great Mother’s Day and that your children spoiled you all!!
Here is what is happening in our learning over the next couple of weeks.
Literacy – we continue with our focus on narratives by using picture books and well known fairy tales.
Sight words – a book will be coming home soon for your child to practice writing sight words at home.
Maths – we will spend the next two weeks on skip counting, with focus on 2, 5 and 10 eg 2,4,6,8,10. It will be great to get your children to practice with you.
Health – we will be looking at healthy eating over the term.
Inquiry
This term all the year 1 classes will be working together with Simone with a focus on Geography, History and Science inspired by the author Jeannie Baker who is well known for her picture books that feature collage. Last week we made a collage of ourselves. We looked at different books and came up with our own “I wonder” questions. We will be working in small groups, doing various activities and rotating groups with all teachers to experience many different learning inquiries. Below are photos of the collages we made.
To help with our learnings, we would like children to bring in a paper copy (not an original) of a photo of a grandparent as a baby and at their current age if possible. We will use these photos as part of our history inquiry. It would great if this photo was of one of the grandparents your child invites for special persons day in week 9.
Cheers
Gabby & Suzy
