The class will also have Mrs Sharon Bates for Health and Physical Education, Mr Daren O’Neill for Design and Technology, Ailsa Green for Art, Library and Digital Technology, Mrs Lidia Szlezak for Language and Ms Kate Retelsdorf for Music.

The day starts with the students unpacking their bags, calling of the roll and their designated jobs.

First lesson is the Read, write inc. program, leading into the second lesson of Literacy of writing, grammar, hand writing, book studies, reading strategies, word investigations, rhyme and oral language. The class also reads a big book throughout the week, focussing on the vocabulary of the book, the beginning, middle and ending, characters, setting and illustrations to help student understand, predict and find meaning in what the book is about.

In Maths, the class will explore numbers, location and direction. The last half of the term will be creating and describing patterns using materials, sounds, movements, drawings and numbers.

In Science the class is examining the Earths weather, water cycle and place in the solar system. 

In Geography, we will be comparing natural and human made environments. Students identify changes in features of the landscape and describe how to care for places.

Library is on Fridays and students can borrow books at this time if they have returned previous books.

Each child will have a communication book for communication between you as a parent or care giver and the teacher.  

Please make sure your child’s hat is clearly labelled so it is easily identified by your child and not mistaken by another child.

All parents or carers are welcome to discussions with me about their child if needed, as working together works best for you, the child and us as teachers.

Thankyou
