Reading to Mum and Dad.

I am reading a poem to Mum and Dad.  I couldn't read when I started school, but now I can read books and poems.  Next I would like to read posters.

Kelly Sports.

We are learning to throw and catch on Tuesday mornings at Kelly Sports, 

with Coach Cameron.

Who Am I?

We had to tell about ourselves.  I had to think about me and what I look like.  Then write down the words and they are the clues.  We put them into a book so that other people can read them.  They have to think about what person it might be.  It is mystery to solve!!  It was tricky to say the clues.

Origami Art Show.

WOW!!  LOOK AT MY AMAZING PAPER FOLDING!!

Telling the Time.

At Maths time I was learning to tell the time on a clock or a watch or a phone or on the ipad.   On this clock here, the big hand is on the 12, and the little hand is on the 8.  This means it is 8 o'clock.  If I change the little hand and it points to 7, then it would 7 o'clock.  If I change the big hand to the 6, it would be half past 7.  At first it was tricky to learn the time, but now it and it is easy for me.

Reading Eggs.

I do Reading Eggs at school and at home on the laptop.  I had to match the words to the pictures.  It was easy for me and I did not get any wrong.  Next, I want to click on the house and then I can do my lessons.

Year 1 Skipping Day.

Here I am jumping over the long rope on our skipping day.

Writing New Words.

We are learning to read and write new words by thinking about the end sounds of the words.  I had a little walk in the room and then I put these words on the laptop.  It was easy for me because I found the words and then wrote them down.  Next time I would like to do an x and an f at the end.

Origami Art.

On Friday the 3rd of August, some Japanese homestay students visited us from Botany College.  We chatted to them first, took them for a tour around our school, and then they helped us to fold some Origami.  My buddy helped me to make a bird called a crane, a fan, and a paper aeroplane.

My Shape Art.

We are learning about shapes like circles, triangles, ovals, rectangles and squares.  I made a rocket ship and I used some squares and some triangles and some more squares.  It was tricky to trace the right shape with a pencil.  Next time I would make a Shape Bird.

Blowing Bubbles.

We are outside blowing bubbles.  I can see big bubbles and I can see little bubbles.

Stardome Writing.

On Monday the 25th of June, Room 1 visited the Stardome.   We looked at planets and stars and space suits.  Here I am as an astronaut flying to the moooooooon!

When we came back to school we had to write a story about our trip.  Mrs Kerr let us choose some shapes in Tagul and then we had to import our words.  We could change the colours.  We printed them out and put them up on our space wall.  We think they look super AMAZING.  Here is my one.

Mathletics at School.

I am counting.  I have to put them in the right order.  You get a tick when you do it the right way.  Next I would press the 'next' button and I can start again.  I do a little bit of Mathletics at my house on the laptop.

My Honeybee.

Reading on the Ipad.

I am learning to use the Ipad to read a QR code.  I can choose a book cover.   I scan the QR code and then the story comes up on Youtube.  It can be tricky to scan some of the books.  I enjoy it because I can listen to the story and I can watch it at the same time.  I chose this book called Terrific.

Buddhist Temple Visit.

Reading in Room 1.

I know all my alphabet letters now but I am still learning all my words.  I learn them at home and I learn them at school.  I am getting better and better and soon I can read books about Harry Potter or Minions or Butterflies or even something different.

I am Swimming in the School Pool.

My Fabulous Art Work.

    My Fish.

First we draw a picture from our memory.  Then we draw with the teacher, doing it very slowly.  We have to draw lines like zigzags, curves, circles and lines.  When our work is amazing, the teacher makes it bigger on the photocopier.  Then we can colour it in but we still have to BE VERY CAREFUL!  Here is our beautiful, super work from Term 1!

                               My Cat.

Maths Games in Room 1.

We have to look at the caterpillar and then put the right number of pegs onto the card.  I chose 6.  I have to put 6 pegs on to make the caterpillar stand up on his legs.  It's tricky to put the right number of pegs on.  You have to keep counting and checking.

Fun and Fitness.

We have been working on our fitness this term and we have been trying some new activities.  Here I am skipping and

                                     using the ladder and hurdles.

Look At My Writing!

I am learning to write a recount of what I really enjoyed in the holidays.

First I drew my picture.

Then I told my story to Mrs Kerr and she wrote it down for me.
I copied the words under her writing.

My work looks amazing, wonderful, beautiful and cool!

Year 1, 2018.

Here I am on my first day at Elm Park School, in Room 1.

I am ready to do some great learning this year!
