Fun in Year One!

  Term Four Super Scientist Challenge 2020   In Term Four, the Super Scientist challenge will be in the form of a research project. All students have been invited to research any scientific topic and present their information to the class in a short presentation (2 to 5 minutes) . Students are allowed to use posters, charts and ICT resources, such as MS PowerPoint to support their presentation.   The Year One class presentations will take place in Week 4 of Term 4, starting from Monday the 2 nd November. Please see the attached timetable for the presentations in Week 4.   Each Year One class will select their top two ‘Super Scientists’ and they will move forward to the Year Level Super Scientist challenge.   The Year One Super Scientist challenge will take place in Week 5.   We look forward to seeing all the wonderful presentations.   If you have any questions about the Super Scientist Challenge, please come and see us.   Thank you   Year One Teachers  

  Week 1, Term 4 –  Blog  Post         Our Learning this Term   Literacy   This term we are learning to write Persuasive Texts. Persuasive texts present an opinion about a particular topic. We will be focusing on the language of opinion which is used to express a point of view about a topic. So far, we have discussed how people can have different thoughts, feelings and points of view about the same situation. For example, you might think that reading is the best way to spend leisure time. A friend might think that reading is not the best way to spend leisure time, because they prefer playing sports.     Numeracy   In Numeracy, we are focusing on the concepts of Money, Addition and Subtraction (with and without regrouping) and Numbers to 100. To assist your child in their learning it is helpful to involve them in every day numeracy operations. Shopping and cooking are great examples of incidental times when simple maths can be used to solve problems.
