Welcome to the K/1 class page for 2024.
The K/1 students have become Strong and Smart students. As we reach the end of Term 2, we have a lot of new milestones to celebrate. We had students participate in their first Athletics Carnival, be great spectators for a PSSA football (soccer) game, and learn together in Peer Support lessons with the 4/5/6 leaders.
Welcome back to Term 2! It is amazing to see how much progress all the students have made since Day 1. We were excited to share our holiday experiences and do a Talk, Draw, Write and Share about these.
This term in English and Mathematics we are continuing to engage with the NSW Multiage units of work. In History, we are building our understanding of how the past is different from the future. In PDHPE we are learning and practising athletics skills. Ask your child what they need to do to be a sprinter! They love it!
K/1 have started Term 1 learning about the FISH! Philosophy. This helps the children understand how to be Strong and Smart students in a classroom environment that is positive, supportive and productive.
We have focused on each of the four FISH! principles and what they look like, sound like and feel like at school.
We have enjoyed learning through the use of concrete materials, small group activities and structured play opportunities.
We were all very excited to have Tamryn complete her work experience placement in the K/1 class. We enjoyed the Triantiwontigongalope poem by CJ Dennis and learning about rhyme. It was also fun to explore numbers and learn about finding smaller numbers in larger numbers. We even made our own 100s and 1000s biscuits and tried to count how many sprinkles!
