Merry Christmas

Where does the time go?  Hard to believe that this is the last day of Term 1.  After all their hard work the children are definitely entitled to a well earned break.

The Christmas Show

This week the children have been very busy rehearsing for their Christmas show.  Their item is entitled 'Wombat Divine'.  It is basically the Nativity story, however the characters are all Australian animals.

What a stellar performance the children gave on the night!






A different pose from the usual, 'sitting on Santa's lap'. Great picture Luffy!

UOI

The children continued with their work on Celebrations.  They all agreed that decorations were an important part of  many celebrations.  Consequently they decided to make their own decorations for the classroom.
Torch makes a quite complicated chain Christmas  tree.

Thun Thun coloured a Christmas tree, with tricky words.

Luffy made a very attractive snowman.


Torch is very proud of his Christmas stocking  and rightly so.

Maths

The children did some 'Christmas' maths this week as well as some work on measurement.




Literacy

In class this week the children have been busy writing letters to Santa. 
Then of course they have to be taken to the post office to be mailed.


Trevi copies some words from the board.






Merry Christmas!

from 

Miss Rachel and Miss Tuk

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 ...
