Award Winners week 4

Congratulations Archer, Brooke and Bailey for their achievements this week. Amazing job!

Lovely Landscapes

On Friday, we walked down to the back oval and did some sketching. We chose a nice and comfy spot on a hill and used led pencils to sketch what we could see. When we were happy with our sketches we walked back to class and added extra detail and coloured them in.

Read to Self

One of the first Daily Five activities introduced is Read to Self. Read to Self, teaches students to read independently and enables them to practise some of the skills and strategies worked on together as a class. 1M started by learning about the three ways to read a book; read the pictures, read the words or retell a story you have already read. After this we created a chart and identified why it is important to read and how it should look in our room. Here are some of the things we came up with.


Read to Self

Why?
To become better readers
Because it is fun
To learn new words

How it should look

Get started straight away

Everyone reading silently

Eyes on your own book

Stay in one spot

Build stamina

Here are some of the lovely pictures Mrs Downes took of us practising Read to Self. Thanks Mrs Downes!

Today in Church Time, Mr Gray handed out some special awards called Honour Awards. These awards acknowledge students who are kind, considerate, work hard and try their best. Today this special award went to Rhea; for being respectful to her teachers and peers, being an excellent role model and for trying her best. Well done Rhea!

Counting Superstars

In Mathematics, we have been practising counting forwards and backwards and ordering numbers from smallest to biggest. We have also started looking at 2D shapes and sorting them according to their number of sides. 

Bowling with Stage One

On Wednesday, Stage One went to the MPH for P.E. This week we practised rolling balls at a target. It was lots of fun and we even had a few strikes.

First week

Welcome back to school 1M! It has been a great week getting to know each other and settling in our temporary classroom. We have had lots of fun learning about Australia Day with Pirate Pete and 1G and have been stretching our brains with some number activities that involved both teamwork and problem solving.

Here are some pictures of our first week together.
