Online Learning Continued!

Online Learning.

Here we are completing our second week of online learning.  Once again I am astounded at the resourcefulness of parents and children.  As part of our Unit of Inquiry we have been investigating transport and the children have made some wonderful vehicles.  Luffy made an excellent plane and video taped the process.  What a wonderful record to have.  




What talent and creativity.  What a superb rocket Moses.  It must have taken a long time to make!

Love your plane Thames.  Obviously a lot of thought and imagination has gone into this!

Euro proudly shows off his plane and rightly so!



                                              Euro does a magnificent job of drawing a bus.



                                        How creative are you Junior?  2 incredible planes!  Well done!









                                                 What a splendid boat Jewoo and it floats!



Akin busy working on his plane.




Akin with his splendid drawing of a boat.




  Ida  busy  making a boat from egg cartons and paper.  Impressive job Ida.



The finished product.



Does it sail Ida?  Apparently so!



Petch talks about what he learned from watching an episode of the Magic School Bus on floating and sinking.  Great job Petch.  I am super impressed!


Tone proudly shows off the boat he made.  What a lot of effort has obviously gone into this.  Well done Tone!



Trevi watched a video about floating and sinking.  He then carried out his own experiments and recorded the finings in a T.Table.  So proud of you Trevi!




What a star Trevi!


  Junior, the scientist on the job, carrying out experiments to see which materials float and which ones sink.  Great job Junior.


Torch shows off his rather magnificent ship and then tests it to see if it floats.  Great job Torch.




Yet another splendid working model of a boat.  I love the fact you used plastic bottles underneath Petch to make it float.  What creative thinking!





Thames not only builds a boat but builds a story around it!  Great work Thames.





A major positive from this whole situation is that many parents are filming their children, which is proving to be a valuable and often entertaining record of their learning.  Take a look at the conversation between Luffy and Natasha.





Maths

Tone shows off his counting skills.  In this video Tone is counting in 2's.  Great work Tone.  I am so proud of you.





Petch busy at work, counting in 2's and voila the finished product.  Well done Petch.




                   Torch develops his mental maths skills by playing a game on the computer.

                                                  Natasha busy with her fraction work.

English

Euro draws a wonderful picture accompanied by some very impressive writing, after reading the story 'A Tale Of Two Beasts'.  Well done Euro.


                                       Euro also draws an impressive bus for our transport theme.


                       Meanwhile Spy revises his sounds.  Great job Spy! So proud of you!




                                           Trevi talks about his favourite book.  Great job Trevi!






Lunar shows off her knowledge of rhyming words.
Impressive Lunar!  Well done!


Just love Lunar's detailed explanation of how Paddington Bear may have gotten from Peru to London.  I think I need to take you along, when I next travel Lunar.





Songkran


This is a fun way to come together as a community while we are away from school. We invite you to share your Songkran video. You can sing, dance, dress up, lipsync or act out the song in your video. You can do this individually, as a group or as a whole family. Have fun, be creative. Please submit your video by April 10.

All that remains to be said is, 'Have a wonderful holiday'.

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 ...
