Reading to Mum and Dad.

I am reading my reading book to my mum and my dad.  I used to be a little bit bad at reading, but now I am a Year 1 and I can read better.  Next I would like to read the little books.

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!!

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 6, and the little hand is on the 2.  This means it is half past 3.  If I change the little hand and it points to 2, then it would be half past 2.  If I change the big hand to the 12, it would be 2 o'clock.  At first it was tricky to learn the time, but now it is so easy.

Reading Eggs.

I do Reading eggs at school but not at home because my ipad is flat.  I had to spell all of the letters to make the word - cup.  It is easy peasy for me because it is a short word and I can sound it out.  Next I would like to do a scavenger hunt on Reading eggs.

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 I can remember them in my little readers.  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 three hearts and two roses.

My Shape Art.

We are learning about shapes like circles, triangles, ovals, rectangles and squares.  I made an earth ship and I used all of the shapes and a star too.  It was tricky cutting the star because I kind of cut through it.  Next time I would make a cake picture.

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.

I was versing strangers and I am doing a brilliant job because I can see the ticks and they are everywhere.  I don't do Mathletics at home if my laptop is flat.  I have to wait until it is charged.  I can check when I get home.

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 Day the Crayons Quit.  I think the other kids would like this and I saw Jed reading it.

Buddhist Temple Visit.

Reading in Room 1.

My books are getting hard to read because I am a super reader.  It is tricky to read the new words and I can ask a friend to help me.  I can ask the teacher and she will give me a little clue and then I can read. 

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.

I have to look at the number on the astronaut and then match it with the rocket that has the same number of stars.  It's tricky to count all of the stars because sometimes it has 8 stars but when you check again there are 7 stars.  They have to be the same.

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!
