Reading to my Friend.

At the beginning of the year it was hard to read books and poems.  Now it is easy for me and I can read to my friends and my family and to my teacher.  Next I would like to read about birds.

Science Van Visit.

On Friday the 9th of November, the Science Van came to Elm Park School.  Jed was chosen from the audience to help the science man do a very cool experiment.  He made a bubble with carbon dioxide inside.  Jed was very good at following the instructions!!

Kelly Sports.

We are learning to throw and catch and play games, 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!!

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 3.  This means it is 3 o'clock.  If I change the little hand and it points to 4, then it would be 4 o'clock.  If I change the big hand to the 6, it would be half past 4.  At first it was tricky to learn the time, but now it's easy.

Reading Eggs.

I do Reading eggs at school and at home on the ipad.  I had to get the words and the right picture.  I got two wrong - that's why the stars turned red.  It is a little bit tricky but I keep trying.  Next I would like to do Reading eggs eggspress because that looks cool.

Year 1 Skipping Day.

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

Contractions.

I am learning to read and write contractions.  A contraction is when we take out some letters and we use an apostrophe.  This was easy for me because we had already talked about these in our reading books.  Next time I would like to write harder ones.

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 speed boat.

My Shape Art.

We are learning about shapes like circles, triangles, ovals, rectangles and squares.  I made an alien ship and I used triangles, rectangles and a big oval.  It was tricky because the glue got on my fingers and then my fingers got stuck together.  Next time I would make a star.

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.

Origami Art.

Look at my origami tiger!

Mathletics at School.

We have to do which glass holds less, that means, which glass is smaller.  If we get it wrong, we get an X and then just go on the next one.  When we get it right, we still go on the next one.  I can do Mathletics at home on my ipad.

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 The Gruffalo.

Buddhist Temple Visit.

Reading in Room 1.

I am learning lots of words at home and at school.  When I come to a new word and I don't know, it I try to make the sounds and then I can figure it out.  This word says - saucers.  I am a great reader!

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 8.  I have to put 8 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 in Room 1.

I am ready to do some great learning this year!
