Spelling Bee 2020

Congratulations to all of our Grade 1 Spelling Bee finalists and well done to Emmanuel B for winning first prize! All of our students have shown amazing effort with their spelling throughout the entire year!
​Well done Grade 1 Students. 

Term 4

It has been great seeing all the children back in the classroom this term.
As with Term 3, there will be a drop and run policy at school, whereby you drop off your children, at the classroom door if necessary, and then go. Pick up will again be from outside the school grounds. Please ensure that your child knows which gate they are to be collected from.
As the weather is warming up and there are no bubble taps to be used for drinking straight out of, please remember to send your child along with a drink bottle. Let your child's teacher know if there are any problems with drink bottles.
​Hats are also to be worn.

Reading

It is important for children to keep up their reading mileage throughout the term, with a minimum of 5 nights per week being expected.  Try to focus on the goals that teachers have set for your children, along with asking questions that confirm that your children are comprehending what they have read. Try to ask questions that begin with "Why?" so that children can explain their answers. Answers should be in full sentences.

Mathematics

We are revising the areas of Place Value, Counting, Money, Time and Probability this term. 
Some awesome sites that provide interactive learning games that children can use to practise their basic number facts are:
Smash Maths -  https://www.smashmaths.com.au/  
abcya -  https://www.abcya.com/grades/1 
​
These counting links are also great to listen to and sing along with

Topic Studies

We are focusing on "Our home Town" in Topic Studies this term. Students will be looking at natural and man made features in their area and their address that includes the town, state, country and continent. They have also identified several features of their home town that they wish to learn more about.
