A Celebration of Learning.


This week the students of Year 1took their parents on a 'learning journey', in the form of 'student-led conferences'.

It was inspiring to watch the students confidently and competently explain to their parents how to do various activities in both maths and English.

UOI

This week the Year 1 students completed their Google slide presentation on the life cycle of an animal of their choice.
It is an understatement to say that their slides were impressive!  In a matter of a few weeks they learned not only how to log into Year 1 but then to open up Google slides and insert text, images and even a video!  So impressed Year 1.


Hugo and Alex helping each other.

Chris very pleased with himself at the good job he's done with his slides.

Literacy

In literacy the children's writing is improving on a daily basis.  I am amazed at the beautiful letter formation and spacing between words.
The children also enjoy making words with magnetic letters.


Amelia thoroughly enjoyed this activity.





Math


In maths the children continue to practise counting in 2's, 5's and 10's.  The children were also introduced to writing addition sums vertically.


Korwan busy doing her vertical addition.
                                                             Nobu writes the above sum vertically on the board.

Songkran

What a wonderful performance the students put on for the Songkran Assembly.  You did it again Year 1!  Well done.




All that remains to say is, 'Have a wonderful holiday, Year 1'.

Farewell Year 1!

Farewell Year 1! Hard to believe that the end of the school year has arrived, nevertheless it has. I have had such a wonderful time teaching Year 1, I'm only sorry the face to face time was cut short. However in the time we did have together, I got to know the students very well and I have wonderful memories of them. Each of the children has unique talents and personalities, so much so I could write a blog about each one but I shall limit myself to a sentence or two. Natasha Natasha always entered the classroom with a lovely big smile on her face. As such she set the tone for the day.  She helped make the Year 1 classroom a happy place. Thank you Natasha. Luffy Luffy's enthusiasm and excitement for learning is contagious.  Not only is Luffy a great student but also a great teacher.  I learned so many things from you Luffy. Thank you. Torch It wasn't difficult to find a picture of Torch smiling, as he smiles most of the time....

"Books are a uniquely portable magic.”

Literacy "Books are a uniquely portable magic.”  Stephen King It would seem that the children of Year 1 wholeheartedly agree with Mr. King. Linux engrossed in his book. Korwan enjoying a story read by Ms Bom Maths Measurement was the mathematical focus for the week. We focused on what measurement actually was, the type of things we measure and why measurement is important. We then went on to explore the use of informal units to measure, for example paperclips or unifix cubes.  Finally we measured our handspans and used these to measure things in the classroom. Ms Bom helps Linux to measure the metre stick using his handspan. Khung uses his handspan to measure the height of the table. Hugo measures the number balance using his handspan. UOI What a wonderful term to work on the  UOI unit, Celebrations.  We have enjoyed so many celebrations this term including Chinese New Year, children's birthdays and of course this week ...

International Week

International Week / UOI For International Week, this week the Year 1 class have been learning about Australia.  This country was chosen as it has some unique animals and therefore seemed to fit in nicely with our UOI, 'All living things go through a process of change'. As a class we looked at some of the marsupials unique to Australia such as the koala and the kangaroo.  We also looked at the life cycle of the kangaroo.  The children were fascinated at the size of the baby kangaroo when it is born. For the Grand Finale, the children recited a poem from the famous children's author, Mem Fox entitled 'I'm Australian Too!.  After the assembly the children enjoyed some yummy Australian food supplied by the wonderful Year 1 parents. Then it was on to a variety of activities. Khung and Chris show off their surfing skills. Khung enjoying some yummy food. 2 cool 'Aussies'. Awa and Nobu Kun work together to colour the ...
