Year 1 have had a smooth start to 2025 and have loved settling in to and personalising our new classrooms. We have spent time making connections with new teachers and peers and developing classroom routines. In our first few weeks, Year 1 have been:
- Getting to know each other through teamwork activities and games.
- Recording our ideas and recording the sounds we hear in words during Writing.
- Making predictions using picture and text clues in Reading.
- Practising efficient and accurate counting of objects, including counting by 10s.
- Learning to ask questions and use tally marks to collect responses. Making statements about the data we collect.
- Exploring light and sounds during Connected Learning program and using body percussion to make sound effects.
Thank you to all of the families that have popped in to say hello and taken time to meet their child’s teacher in the first few weeks. We are looking forward to a great year ahead!
